Whisk the tarhana with 1 cup of cold water in a bowl until smooth.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a pot and stir the crushed garlic for 30 seconds.
Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes, and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the hot water to the pot and bring to the boiling point.
Pour the loosened tarhana into the pot in a thin stream while whisking.
Cook the soup over low heat for 12 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Adjust the salt, add the dried mint, and rest for 2 minutes.
💡 Tip: Loosening the tarhana with cold water first lets it thicken smoothly in the pot without lumps.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with dried mint and serve with country bread and pickles.
