Mutton and whole spices simmer to create the broth, leaving a tasty and mineral-dense soup for you to enjoy. One of the main ingredients of yakhni is the bones the broth cooks in. Bones contain collagen, a protein essential for hair, nail, and joint wellness. Yakhni is highly nutritious and a meal all on its own. As a result, it has soothing qualities, helpful for those with colds, stomachaches, and morning sickness. I was pregnant when my mother-in-law first suggested making me the soup. By this point, I had been hospitalized twice due to sickness and dehydration- I couldn’t keep down food, and everything made me nauseous. Finally, I let her make it for me, and I am forever grateful! The soup became a regular meal throughout my pregnancy, and lucky for me, my mother-in-law would make it in large batches and freeze it when she would visit. To this day, there are few things more comforting than a soothing bowl of yakhni soup.
