Tarhana Corbasi is a cherished dish in Turkish cuisine, with roots dating back to ancient civilizations in the region. The soup is traditionally made by fermenting a mixture of grain, yogurt, and vegetables for several days, then drying it into a powder. The powder is stored for later use, making it a convenient and nutritious meal option. Tarhana Corbasi is typically enjoyed as a main course or as an appetizer, with a slice of fresh bread. The soup has a tangy and slightly acidic taste, thanks to the sourdough base, and is often complemented with aromatic herbs and spices.

Instructions

1.	In a pot, sauté the tarhana with olive oil until fragrant.
2.	Gradually pour in the water, stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
3.	Add tomato paste and butter, and stir until well combined.
4.	Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
5.	Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated romano cheese.
