It remains a mystery when Kharcho soup was invented. It is known that it is made of 3 main ingredients: beef meat, rice and aromatic Georgian spices. Later, pomegranate juice, Tkemali sauce, nuts and garlic were added to the dish. We recommend a hearty Kharcho soup with beef and rice. The ingredients can be changed according to your taste, as well as their quantity. Serve with fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley).

Wash the meat, separate it from the bone and finely cut it. Fill a pot with water and add 1 peeled onion. As soon as the water boils, skim off the scum with a slotted spoon or simple spoon. Cook over low heat for about 60-90 minutes.
Soak the rice for 30 minutes, then rinse it.
Wash the tomatoes. Cut a cross in the bottom of each tomato. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Dip the tomatoes in the boiling water for a minute. Then take out, pour with cold water and peel with a sharp knife. At the end finely cut and add to the frying pan. Simmer for a few minutes.
When the meat is done, remove it into a bowl. Strain the broth and remove the onion.
Peel the onion, finely cut it. Heat the pan and melt the butter. Saute the brown until golden brown. Then add the meat, simmer for about 5 minutes. When the filling is done, add to the broth. Cook for about 40 minutes.
Cook the rice in another pot. Fill the water in 2 times more than groats (about 60-80 g). Simmer for about 20 minutes over low heat. At the end add to the soup.
Then add the chopped tomatoes and Tkemali sauce to the soup.
Season with spices and cook for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped herbs before serving.
