Kharcho

A deeply savory Georgian beef soup thickened with rice and ground walnuts, sharpened by sour tkemali plum sauce, and given a fragrant lift from blue fenugreek, garlic, and a generous handful of fresh cilantro. Rooted in Megrelian and Kakhetian kitchens, kharcho is the soup a Georgian grandmother makes when you need warming up — substantial, sour, and unmistakably home.
