Best 2 Kurdish Soup Dowjic Recipes

KURDISH SOUP DOWJIC

Steps:

• Brown chicken in large pan or stockpot.
• Add stock and lemon juice. Bring to boil, add rice, turn down to low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through (just barely simmer--basically you're poaching the chicken, it should take about 10 to 12 minutes).
• Remove chicken, dice.
• Beat yogurt and egg together in a medium bowl.
• Add 1 cup simmering broth to yogurt, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly (this prevents the yogurt from separating).
• Add yogurt mixture to pot, whisking well.
• Add salt (adjust to taste).
• Return chicken to pan. Over low heat, heat through but do not boil. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

KURDISH LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Put shelled yellow or red lentils in a medium heavy pot, and cover with cold water by 3 or 4 inches (about 10 cups).
• Bring to a quick boil, skimming froth as needed.
• Lower heat to low and let simmer, covered, until lentils are thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes.
• For a creamy texture, whisk the mixture with a whip until smooth, a few minutes.
• Add salt, black pepper, curry powder, and broken vermicelli noodles.
• Stir well.
• Keep simmering and stir occasionally to prevent soup from sticking to the bottom of the pot until soup is nicely thickened, about 15 minutes.
