Spas

Spas is a traditional soup that's tart, creamy, and very filling. It's typically made with a combination of yogurt, flour, butter, water or chicken broth, and wheat grains, but the grains can be replaced with rice or pearl barley, while spinach and eggs or egg yolks are added to the combination often, but not always. The soup is usually garnished with cilantro or mint on top. This soup is served warm in the winter and chilled in the summer. For the warm version, eggs or egg yolks are necessary as they keep the yogurt from curdling, but omit the eggs in the cold version of spas.
