Charred Eggplant Soup with Cumin and Greek Yogurt

The supple texture of cooked eggplant is transformed into a soup that needs no cream to achieve its silken texture. Grilled eggplant slices assert their smokiness, shallots and garlic add pungent sweetness, white wine brings brightness, and a touch of musky cumin gives the soup an exotic flavor.
