Trahana soup with tomato

Σούπα με τραχανά και ντομάτα

Ingredients

  • 1 white onion finely chopped
  • 3 sticks of celery plus leaves finely chopped
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup sour trahana
  • 1 cup tomato grated
  • Sofia's chilli puree to taste (see my basic recipes page)
  • 4 cups 1500 ml water
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil, over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the trahana to the pot, and mix well, coating the grains with oil.
  2. Add the grated tomato, chilli puree and water and bring to a boil, stirring very often. Once you have reached a boil, reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the trahana is tender (approx 45 minutes).
  3. Season and serve hot.
