Aveluk Soup with Wheat Groats

A warming, fragrant Armenian soup — make it and give it a try! Aveluk soup is considered a traditional Armenian dish, especially popular once the cold weather sets in. It warms you up nicely, and it's full of vitamins that help fight off infections. The flavor is unusual and interesting, with a pleasant tartness, and the aveluk (dried Armenian mountain sorrel) pairs beautifully with onions fried in oil. The korkot (cracked wheat) makes the soup more filling. All in all, this is one of my favorite first courses.
