Mix the tarhana with 1 cup of water and let it stand for 15 minutes.
Toast the tomato paste in butter for 2 minutes.
Whisk the soaked tarhana with yogurt and add it to the pot.
Pour in the remaining water gradually, stirring until no lumps remain.
Simmer the soup over low heat for 20 minutes, then finish with mint, red pepper flakes, and salt.
💡 Tip: Do not drop the tarhana directly into boiling water; soaking it first greatly reduces lumping.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot with toasted bread, pickles, and optional red pepper flakes.
