Cold Yogurt Soup (Abdoogh Khiar)
21
Shadi HasanzadeNemati
"This refreshing soup, made with cooling ingredients and served icy cold, is the perfect light lunch on a hot day. I enjoy it all summer-and I always have the best naps after eating it. You can make the yogurt mixture ahead and keep it in the fridge and just dish out a bowl whenever you like. Though optional, the rose petals make it pretty and quintessentially Persian. You can usually find food-safe dried rose petals in Middle Eastern supermarkets."

- Divide the cucumbers, raisins, walnuts, and herbs among four bowls.
- Pour one-fourth of the yogurt mixture into each bowl.
- Top with rose petals, and add a few ice cubes to each bowl.
- Tear bread into small pieces and add some to each bowl. Let bread soak 5 to 7 minutes before serving. Serve cold.
