Ottoman-Inspired Leek, Potato Soup With Yogurt Sauce & Bone broth



This is not the classic yogurt soup you may already know.
This version is Ottoman-inspired, richer and more nourishing, made with lamb bone broth, leeks, potatoes, tender meat, and a smooth yogurt & egg tempering.

Bone broth has always been an essential part of traditional kitchens — deeply comforting, full of collagen, and perfect for slow, healing meals. I’ve been making it often lately, especially during recovery days at home.

Finished with a butter and dried mint sauce, this soup is gentle, bold, and beautifully balanced — the kind of food that warms both body and soul.

    This is not the classic plain yogurt soup 😊
    It’s an Ottoman-inspired version, made richer with bone broth, leeks, potatoes, meat, and a yogurt–egg tempering, finished with butter and dried mint.
    If you’ve grown up with traditional yogurt soup, I’d love to know —
    ✨ would you try this version at home?
    👇 Let me know in the comments.

    I love the depth and richness of flavours in this amazing soup! The time you take to make the bone broth is definitely worth it. Then layering the vegetable and yogurt flavours make it special. Thank you for this simple yet extraordinary recipe 😊❤

    Oh yes yayla corbasi the classic yoghurt soup, my parents ate this soup cold in the summer, I tried it. It's really refrehing in really hot days. There is another yoghurt soup I like, i'm sure you know it. It is essentially like a yayla soup, additionally there is chickpeas in it, very small köfte's braised in butter and added in when the soup is already cooked. But the most important for me is the herb, it's called Ash otu and smells heavenly. I saw it only in its persevered form in a glass, in big grain mountain salt. They told me it's cilantro. Fun fact;I hate fresh cilantro but Ash otu is another level.
    I looked it up it's a soup from Erzurum called ayran ashi

    I wish I could eat with you in your home – this looks delicious / I will definitely make this nutritious soup. I didn’t know how easy it is to prepare broth – I will also try your recipe. Well worth making as a stock cube is full of additives.

    Could you please make leek dishes? I see Turkish women buying it from the bazaar alot. I made it with carrot and olive oil but I think they make something else with it.
