Kyalagyosh

Kyalagyosh is a traditional yogurt soup served over toasted pieces of flatbread. In order to prepare the soup, eggs, flour, strained yogurt, and sour cream are combined until smooth, and then simmered with boiling water and chicken bouillon. The soup is then traditionally flavored with a mixture of dried maralot’i, thyme, mint, or cilantro and onions which have been previously sautéed in some butter and oil.

Aromatic and warming, the soup is poured over crispy toasted pieces of flatbread (traditionally lavash) and it can be consumed hot or chilled. Typical accompaniments include fresh bread, onions, vodka, lentils, beef, and spiced garlic. An age-old dish, the soup was a typical morning dish prepared for guests in Armenian villages.

Hailing from Nakhijevan, a part of historical Armenia, this creamy soup is nowadays commonly prepared throughout the country.
