The homeland of this famous soup is Bulgaria.And it is prepared on the basis of yogurt. Do not be mistaken and think that we are talking about yogurt that is sold in any grocery store. We are talking about real Bulgarian yogurt, which tastes somewhat like kefir. Bulgarian yogurt keeps a traditional ancient recipe, which originated during the Great Migration of Peoples, namely in the 5th-7th centuries. Transportation of milk in sheepskins and the traditional method of storage did their job - this unique fermented milk product appeared. As you know, Bulgarians are famous for their longevity, and they explain this by the fact that they constantly drink sour milk, namely yogurt. The famous tarator soup is prepared on this product, the recipe for which Bulgarians pass down from generation to generation. This Bulgarian soup is prepared quite simply: fresh grated cucumber, chopped nuts, garlic, dill, vinegar and vegetable oil are added to the yogurt. Since it is impossible to buy Bulgarian yogurt here, it is replaced with regular kefir, which is no less useful. Kefir contains lactic acid fungus, which is microorganisms, rods, streptococci, yeast and bacteria. These microscopic organisms kill pathogens of tuberculosis and gastrointestinal diseases. It is worth mentioning kefir as a tonic and thirst-quenching drink, and when preparing soup with kefir, this is very useful.
