INSTRUCTIONS

HERB BROTH
Prepare the herb broth:  Place all ingredients in a saucepan with 5 cups of
water.  Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain before using.
To make the soup:  In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, saute onion and leek in
olive oil until translucent.  Add chopped tomato. In a mortar and pestle,
pound the sun-dried tomatoes with their liquid to a paste, then add to the
pot with the sugar.  Continue cooking over a moderately high heat for 2-3
minutes.  Stir in the garlic, grated orange zest, and mint, and cook
another 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the herb broth, cover, then allow soup
to simmer for 30-45 minutes longer. (Soup may be prepared ahead of time up
to this point.)
In a bowl, mix together yogurt and flour until smooth. Gradually add a
spoonful of hot soup, stirring contantly. Add another spoonful of soup,
then slowly add yogurt mixture to soup pot, stirring all the while.
Continue cooking soup over a gentle heat, stirring, being careful not to
let mixture curdle.
Adjust seasonings, then add the fresh parsley.  Serve immediately. Ms.
Jacobs suggests fresh crusty bread, a green salads, olive and feta cheese
as suitable accomaniments.
