HOW TO MAKE MARAŞ TARHANA SOUP?

Soak the tarhana in water either the night before or 1-2 hours before cooking. To control the sourness of the tarhana, pour off some of the soaking water.
Place the soaked tarhana in a pot with enough water to cover it. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking while stirring until the soup reaches the desired consistency.
When the soup is cooked, mash it thoroughly with a wooden spoon and adjust its consistency.
You can also add fresh yogurt and meat broth to give the soup a different flavor.
In a separate pan, sauté the garlic in oil until golden. Then add the dried mint and Maraş pepper and mix.
Drizzle the garlic oil mixture you prepared over the soup.
Optionally, you can also prepare a vegetable version.
