Classic Bulgarian Tarator Soup

We suggest preparing Classic Bulgarian Tarator Soup. Tarator is a Balkan cold soup, usually enjoyed during warm summer months. It’s delicious, light, and easy to make.

The best thing about tarator is that it’s made with yogurt, making it a probiotic! Tarator can be enjoyed as a standalone dish, as an appetizer with beef cuts, salami, and any other meat, or even as a drink.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of yogurt
  • 2 cucumbers
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • A pinch of chopped dill
  • A clove of garlic (minced)
  • A cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Tarator spice mix (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Dice the cucumbers (or you can grate them, but diced cucumbers make Tarator tastier).
  2. Combine the yogurt, cucumbers, oil, garlic, dill, and salt.
  3. Stir gently until smooth.
  4. Add two cups of water (the same amount as yogurt), stirring constantly to mix everything well.
  5. Garnish with walnuts.

Classic Bulgarian Tarator Soup is ready. Enjoy!
