Description

Perfect for lunch. I first tried the national Georgian soup, harcho, directly in Georgia. And naturally, the Georgian housewives refused to share the recipe, jokingly explaining that otherwise no one would visit them anymore to enjoy authentic Georgian dishes. My first attempts to make harcho at home were futile. But with persistence and determination, I finally achieved that very authentic taste of the Georgian soup. Serve in bowls and enjoy.
