Trahanas soup is a traditional Greek dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. The name 'trahanas' comes from the pasta used in the soup, which is made from a mixture of cracked wheat and fermented milk. This unique pasta gives the soup a creamy texture and tangy flavor that is truly one-of-a-kind. Traditionally served as a main course, the soup is often accompanied by crusty bread or a fresh salad. The dish is a staple in many Greek households, and is a favorite of both locals and tourists alike.

Instructions

1.	Begin by melting the butter in a large pot on medium heat. Add the bread cubes and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
