🇬🇪 Georgia recipe
Kharcho
Kharcho is a thick, deeply flavored beef and rice soup that represents the bold side of Georgian cuisine. Rich with ground walnuts, tart with tkemali plum sauce, and fragrant with a full arsenal of Georgian spices, this soup is hearty enough to serve as a main course. Originally from the Mingrelia region, kharcho is considered one of the most complex and rewarding soups in the Georgian culinary tradition.
