Yogurt is supposedly one of the things you should be eating when you have cough and cold. Since the flu season is going string and 3/4 score of flu at my house, I was looking for some dishes with soup...actually warm yogurt dishes. And I found this recipe "food and wines" website. And it is one of the best dishes I made with yogurt.
