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.
