Kharcho with tkemali, according to tradition, is cooked on beef broth. But still, even in the homeland of the dish, in Georgia, there are other recipes. For example, kharcho on low-fat lamb is considered very successful: the soup turns out to be hearty and fragrant. The recipe presented here is just one of these “variations on a theme”. To make kharcho thicker, rice and potatoes are added to it at the same time. By the way, this is how this soup was often prepared by Soviet housewives, so this performance will seem familiar to many.
