Herbed Yogurt Soup with Rice

This tangy and hearty soup from cookbook author Naomi Duguid is from western Azerbaijan, close to the Georgian border. With the exception of the herbs, this soup is all about the yogurt, so be sure to pick one with lots of flavor. The sprinkle of ground cinnamon at the end adds a fantastic dimension.Slideshow: More Vegetarian Soups
