Kharcho, also spelledHarcho (Georgian:ხარჩო), is a traditionalGeorgiansoup containingbeef,rice,cherry plum purée, and choppedwalnuts (Juglans regia), but they are not compulsory.[1] The soup is seasoned withKhmeli Suneli andcoriander. The soup is usually served with finely chopped freshcoriander. The characteristic ingredients of the soup are meat (usually fatty cuts of beef), cherry plum purée made fromtklapi ortkemali, rice, chopped walnuts, and a spice mix that varies between different regions of Georgia.
Typically, kharcho is made with beef, and the Georgian name of this soup, "dzrokhis khortsis kharcho", literally translates as “cow’s meat kharcho.”[2]
In the Samegrelo region, Megrelian kharcho is made as a stew rather than a soup. Rice is excluded and it is typically served over a bed of ghomi (Georgian polenta).[3]
