Kharcho soup is not only a national, but also a very popular dish of Georgian cuisine. Surprisingly, potatoes are not used to prepare this dish, as we are used to. The most basic are beef, rice and onions. Everything else is specific flavoring additives, thanks to which the soup is obtained with a slight sourness.

Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the beef and cut into small pieces. Only lean tenderloin should be taken. Pour the meat with water (2.5-3 liters) and cook for 1.5 hours. During cooking, it is required to periodically remove the scale. To make the broth transparent, you can strain it, dip the meat into it again and continue cooking, adding the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2
Rinse the rice and pour into the broth. Cook for about 10 minutes. Finely chop the onion and fry for a few minutes in vegetable oil. Then add it to the broth.
Step 3
Grind the walnuts well in a blender and send them to the soup. Then add Georgian tkemali sauce, red pepper and peas, as well as hops-suneli. Cook for about 7 minutes. Then put the garlic passed through a press into the broth and remove the pan from the heat. The dish should be infused for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the soup with chopped herbs and serve.
