Flour soup can be preferred as a practical and delicious option, especially as a warming starter on cold winter days. This soup, which has traditionally taken its place in Turkish cuisine, is made with simple ingredients such as flour, butter and meat/chicken broth, has a creamy consistency and delights the palate with its intense taste. This soup, which is both nutritious and satisfying, adds richness to your tables by flavoring it with various spices.
Roast the flour: Melt the butter and olive oil in a deep saucepan and lightly heat. Add flour gradually to the saucepan and stir continuously on low heat until flour is burned until it takes a light brown color without burning.
Add the water: Add hot chicken broth or broth and mix with the beater to prevent lumps.
Add the spices: When the soup starts to boil, add salt, pepper and other optional spices and mix.
Serve: Melt the butter in a small bowl, add dry mint and stir until the smell comes out. Put the mint butter on the soup you share in the bowls and serve. Enjoy your meal!

Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Chicken Broth:
Chicken broth, rich in collagen, supports joint health, enhances skin elasticity, and strengthens the intestinal barrier, improving digestion. Amino acids like glycine and proline support the immune system and help reduce inflammation. It also contains beneficial components for cartilage structure. Especially during colds and flu, it contributes to body recovery. It pairs perfectly with rice, noodles, various vegetables, and lemon.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases. It supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
