Tarhana Corbasi is a traditional Turkish soup made from a fermented mixture of yogurt, vegetables, and grains.
This hearty soup has a long history in Turkish cuisine, often enjoyed during the colder months for its warming and nourishing qualities.
To prepare Tarhana Corbasi, start by soaking the tarhana mixture in water until it softens. Then, cook it in a pot with additional water or broth, stirring continuously until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Add a touch of butter or olive oil for extra richness.
For a personalized touch, you can add spices such as red pepper flakes or dried mint to enhance the flavor. Some variations also include small pieces of meat or vegetables for added texture and nutrition.
In Turkey, Tarhana Corbasi is typically served hot, often accompanied by a slice of crusty bread or a side of pickles.
While this soup is rich in probiotics and nutrients from the fermented ingredients, it is important to enjoy it in moderation, especially if additional butter or oil is used in the preparation.
