Kharcho | Traditional Meat Soup From Samegrelo-Upper Svaneti, Georgia | TasteAtlas

Kharcho

(Harcho, Kharsho, ხარჩო)

Kharcho is a hearty Georgian soup featuring beef or chicken, walnuts, and rice. It is traditionally seasoned with a Georgian spice blend called khmeli suneli (a combination of dried blue fenugreek, marigold petals, basil, parsley, fennel, coriander, bay leaves, and red pepper) and tkemali plum sauce.


The soup is so popular that almost every family has their own variation and recipe. It is recommended to serve kharcho hot and garnish it with freshly chopped coriander.
