Turkish yogurt soup

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.

Turkish Yogurt Soup (Spicy yogurt soup with chickpeas and rice)
Turkish Yoguet chickpeas soup

Ingredients:
  1. 1/4 cup basmati rice
  2. 3 cups water
  3. 1 chicken bouillion
  4. 1 cup plain yogurt
  5. 1 egg yolk
  6. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  7. 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  8. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  9. 1/2 teaspoon each of Salt and freshly ground pepper
  10. 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
  11. 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
  12. 1 heaped teaspoon minced garlic
  13. 1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper depending on how hot you can handle your food
  14. 3 tablespoons finely chopped mint

in a pan, heat half  the water and add the chicken bouillon add the rice and cook for 5 minutes. 
In a bowl whisk the yogurt with the egg yolk and flour. 
In a pan heat the oil and butter and fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes. Take care not to burn it. Add the chickpeas and stir. Add the yogurt mix and the remaining waterand simmer on a very low heat for 10 minutes. Add the Rice to the pan and stir. Add the lemon pepper and cayenne pepper and simmer for 5 more minutes. Give it a taste test for salt and enjoy.

Make sure you have some napkins by your side, as this soup will make your nose run.

NOTE: You can also make this soup with just chickpeas and skip the rice
