Qatiqli hu'rda (Rice soup with yogurt)


"Qatiqli hu'rda" is one of summer soups. It is easy to digest and refreshing, yet very nourishing soup. I like this soup, because it take less time to prepare it. Recipe is for 5 people.
Ingredients:
50 ml of vegetable oil
250 gr of meat, (lamb or beef) cut in small cubes
1 big onion, chopped
2 big tomatoes, blended in food processor or 2 tbsp of tomato puree
1 capsicum, cut in small cubes
1 carrot, sliced thinly
100 gr of short grain rice
400 ml of yogurt
Salt to taste
1 tsp of ground coriander
Half a tsp of pepper
Heat the oil well and put in meat and spices all together. Fry on a high heat until meat is completely brown. Put in onions and fry until golden color, then add in capsicum, tomato and carrot. Fry until all vegetables are nicely fried and oil begins to separate. Now put in washed rice and fry for 2-3 min. Add in 1 liter of water, bring to boil and reduce the heat. Let it simmer under half covered lid until soup is thick enough, like this:

Add in salt and simmer 3 min more. Take from the heat and mix with yogurt. Or serve to separate bowls and add 3-4 tbsp of yogurt to each bowl, mix well. Sprinkle some greens and enjoy it:)
Yoqimli ishtaha!!!
