We take out the meat from the broth, cool and grind.

Preparing frying for the Kharcho soup. To do this, cut the onion, garlic, chili and put it in a hot frying pan. Stir constantly. After 1 minute, add the tomato paste and tkemali sauce, as well as the hop-suneli seasoning. Fry for another 1 minute and remove from heat. Add the resulting mixture to the meat broth. We throw the bay leaf there.
