Trahana is considered the traditional soup of Cyprus. It is made by villagers when they have a lot of extra milk on hand. The trahana itself is a combination of wheat and sour milk that has been boiled in a cauldron to a gruel like paste and then set out to dry. Once dry, it is cut into pellets that can be stored for future use. It is also factory made and can be bought commerically in grocery stores. The soup has a delightful sour vibe to it and can be finished off with a bit of fresh lemon juice. With a crusty loaf of bread, it is a meal in itself.
