Loosen the Maras tarhana with 1 cup cold water and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Melt the butter in a pot and fry the pepper paste for 2 minutes, until its aroma rises.
Add 5 cups hot water, then pour in the tarhana gradually while whisking so it does not clump.
Add 1 cup boiled chickpeas and cook over low heat for 14 minutes.
Heat the dried mint butter for 1 minute, drizzle it into the soup, and ladle into hot bowls.
Wait 2 minutes before serving so the chickpeas and tarhana reach the same temperature.
💡 Tip: Opening the tarhana in cold water gives the soup a smooth consistency.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the chickpea tarhana soup into hot bowls, keeping the chickpeas close to the surface.
