Tarhana soup with croutons
Tarhana soup is a traditional Turkish soup made with a fermented mixture of grain, yogurt, and vegetables. It has a tangy and savory flavor that is very comforting. Croutons are small pieces of bread that have been toasted or fried until they are crispy. Adding croutons to Tarhana soup can provide a nice crunchy texture and extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tarhana mix
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices bread cut into small cubes
- 1 teaspoon dried mint (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the Tarhana mix and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Gradually stir in a ladle of the hot soup to temper the yogurt.
- Pour the yogurt mixture back into the pot and stir well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast them until golden and crispy.
- Ladle the Tarhana soup into bowls and top each serving with the toasted bread cubes.
- Sprinkle dried mint on top for an extra layer of flavor, if desired.
