Boil 1 cup cracked wheat in 5 cups water for 20 minutes.
Mash the dried yogurt pieces with 1 cup warm water until smooth and loosened.
Slowly add the dried yogurt water to the hot cracked wheat, whisking so the sharp sourness does not clump.
Cook the soup over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring.
Heat the butter and mint sauce for 45 seconds and drizzle it on top.
💡 Tip: Dissolving the dried yogurt in a separate bowl gives the soup a more balanced sourness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the cracked wheat and dried yogurt soup into a hot bowl, leaving the minty surface intact on the way to the table.
