What is Cornelian Cherry Tarhana Soup?
Cornelian Cherry Tarhana Soup brings together tarhana—a tangy Turkish fermented grain and yoghurt mixture—with the sharp, fruity sourness of cornelian cherries. The tarhana is loosened with water and simmered; depending on the household or regional recipe, the cherries may be added to the soup or incorporated into the tarhana itself. Tarhana soups have many local variations across Turkey.
Served hot, this version is usually thick and distinctly tart. In Turkey it can start a lunch or dinner, or make a light meal with bread; elsewhere, it also works as a warming, simple soup. Its nutritional profile is mainly carbohydrate, with 48 calories per 100 g. For a lighter bowl, use oil sparingly and serve it with plain bread rather than a rich accompaniment.
