How to Make Ground Meat Tarhana Soup (Kıymalı Tarhana)
In a soup pot, sauté 50 g of ground meat in 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add half a tablespoon of tomato paste and stir to combine. Pour in more than half a pot of water. Add 5 tablespoons of tarhana (fermented grain-yogurt soup base), 1 dessert spoon of salt, and 1 dessert spoon of Aleppo pepper flakes, stirring as you cook. (If your tarhana is thick, let it soak in a little water first before adding it to the pot.) Enjoy your meal…

* If your tarhana is thick, you can let it soak in a little water before adding it to the pot. * If you don't like spice, you can reduce the amount of Aleppo pepper flakes.
