Tarhana çorbası is a popular Turkish soup made with tarhana dough, crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, chicken stock, butter, and pul biber red pepper flakes. When the consistency reaches the desired thickness, the soup is ready to be served, preferably piping hot.

Some people like to add ground meat in the soup, but it is completely optional. Tarhana çorbası is especially popular on cold winter mornings. If desired, garnish it with crumbled white cheese on top.
