Ovdukh

Ovdukh is a refreshing Azerbaijani cold soup made with yogurt, water, cucumbers, and spring onions. In order to prepare it, yogurt is combined with water that has been boiled, then left to cool. The concoction is then mixed with chopped cucumbers, spring onions, and herbs such as cilantro, dill, and purple basil.

The soup can sometimes contain ground beef and chopped hard-boiled eggs, although the basic vegetarian version is much more popular. Ovdukh is especially popular on hot summer days.
