Tarhana soup

Tarhana soup is one of the oldest classics of Turkish cuisine. Tarhana is made from yoghurt, flour, tomato, pepper, onion and herbs that are fermented and sun-dried – an age-old method that gives the soup its characteristically tangy, rich flavour with deep umami.

It is the perfect quick lunch on a cold day or a warming starter for dinner. Just water, a saucepan and ten minutes – and you have an authentic tarhana çorbası on the table.

Preparation (4 servings):

1. Empty the contents of the pack into a saucepan with 1 litre of cold water.
2. Heat while stirring until the soup comes to the boil.
3. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Serve piping hot with a knob of butter and a pinch of chilli flakes.
