Ab Doogh Khiar – Refreshing Yogurt Soup

Ab Doogh Khiar is a refreshing, cold yogurt soup with cucumbers, herbs, raisins and walnuts. We dunk pieces of bread in it, making the soup nice and filling without being too heavy. It’s the ideal lunch or dinner for hot summer days.

The basis of this cold yoghurt soup is a Persian yoghurt drink called Doogh, similar to Turkish Ayran. You can easily make it yourself! I recommend using strained yogurt, a sour tasting one would be ideal. You can find it in Turkish or Iranian supermarkets. But if you don’t have access to one, don’t worry. You can also use Greek or Greek style yogurt and your Ab Doogh Khiar will be just as refreshing.
