Tarhana soup is the kind of soup that is a remedy for an upset stomach especially after consumption of a lot of food and drink. But what is Tarhana? Tarhana or Trahanas in Greek is an ancient type of pasta made out of grain and fermented milk or yoghurt (greek variety). The etymology of the word Trahana, may come from the Greek word Traganos meaning crunchy, although this is debated in other ancient countries with similar recipes.
Greece claims the title of the country with the largest variety of tarhana and dishes based on it. In our shops, you can find Tarhana sour or sweet, thick or fine. It is also the kind of pasta that is very cheap and can be stored and last for a long time. In my recipe, I use sweet Trahana and at the end I add some Feta cheese for extra flavour, which you can leave out for a lighter soup. Suitable for lacto vegetarians.
Ingredients:
120 gr. Sweet Tarhana
400 ml. Water
500 ml. Fresh Milk 2%
1 tbsp. Butter or Margarine
Salt and Pepper
100 gr. Feta cheese (optional)
Γλυκός Τραχανάς Σούπα

Η σούπα γλυκού Τραχανά είναι το είδος της σούπας που αποτελεί φάρμακο για το στομάχι, ειδικά μετά από κατανάλωση πολλών φαγητών και αλκοολούχων ποτών. Αλλά τι είναι ο Τραχανάς; Ο Τραχανάς είναι ένας αρχαίος τύπος ζυμαρικού, φτιαγμένος από σιτηρά και γάλα ή γιαούρτι που έχει υποστεί ζύμωση (τουλάχιστον η ελληνική ποικιλία). Η ετυμολογία της λέξης Τραχανάς μπορεί να προέρχεται από την ελληνική λέξη τραγανός, αν και αυτό αμφισβητείται σε άλλες αρχαίες χώρες που έχουν παρόμοιες συνταγές. Η Ελλάδα διεκδικεί τον τίτλο της χώρας με τη μεγαλύτερη ποικιλία από τραχανά και πιάτα που βασίζονται σε αυτό. Στα καταστήματα, μπορείτε να βρείτε Τραχανά ξινό ή γλυκό, χοντρό ή ψιλό. Είναι επίσης το είδος ζυμαρικού που είναι πολύ φθηνό και μπορεί να φυλαχθεί και να συντηρηθεί για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα. Στη συνταγή μου, χρησιμοποιώ γλυκό Τραχανά και στο τέλος προσθέτω λίγη φέτα για επιπλέον γεύση, την οποία μπορείτε να παραλείψετε εάν θέλετε πιο ελαφριά σούπα. Κατάλληλο για χορτοφάγους.
Υλικά:
120 γρ. Γλυκός Τραχανάς
400 ml. Νερό
500 ml. Φρέσκο Γάλα 2%
1 κ.σ. Βούτυρο ή μαργαρίνη
Αλατοπίπερο
100 γρ. Τυρί φέτα (προαιρετικό)

My father is Albanian, and trahana is popular in the region he was born in. Albanian's usually eat it for breakfast with olive oil, sour trahana, bread, salt and feta cheese usually with no other ingredients.
I love trahana, but I can't eat it all the time because I live in South Africa, and my Dad only goes to Albania once every couple of years, which is a shame because I love this dish.

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Very interesting that Albanian eat it for breakfast! It actually makes sense because it is quite a filling soup! A pity that you can't find it in South Africa 😕

Any substitute with Tarhana sweet,,I am chief cook of bulk cargo vessel I want to learn more Greek cooking in order to give satisfaction of my fellow crew Greek officers. Even I am not Greek I'm willing to learn the taste, tradition,culture

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Unfortunately there is no substitute for Tarhana. You can try to make it yourself. Follow this link which explains how: myfamilysfooddiary.com/how-to-make-trahana-from-scratch-at-home/

[@Dobetter15]

In Cyprus we also add halloumi

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Yes, I have heard about it, but I haven't tried it yet. But I am certain it will be delicious.

[@dennismyl6686]

Can I use sour Trajan for this recipe?

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Yes, the result is the same. It's just that it is a bit more sour

[@4chiron]

Instead of grams of Trahanas and mls of Water can you express this recipe in Cups of Trahanas, Cups of Water and Cups of milk? This, in my thinking should simplify the recipe. Thank you.

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Have a look at my recipe in text on my Website. There you will find cups for the liquids.
Fyi Trahanas should be about 0.6 cup.
I hope that helps 💖

[@mr.alnick9325]

Just wanted to say that this dish is Cypriot not Greek

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

I believe it is both. The 2 kitchens have so many similarities through their common history
