Prepare yogurt soup mix water and yogurt and bring to a gentle boil, making sure not to scorch add the rice and stir gently when rice is tender add the pastries gently and let simmer for about 10 minutes, making sure the soup is not to thick for the pastries to cook, if so just add enough water just before serving you add the mint, (optional)

OPTIONAL

You can pre-cook pastries Bring to a boil 3 quarts of salted water and pastries and cook for a few minutes remove and drain then add to soup.

This dish is so delicious, my family and friends always request it when I have cook out, its light and taste great on hot days as a cold soup or if you are cold and tired it is a great comfort food.

Pastries can be done ahead and frozen until need.
