Real soup

Description

Hearty and aromatic soup. The ingredient list for this soup is quite extensive, and the preparation takes a lot of time, but it's definitely worth it. Harcho is nutritious, fragrant, and amazingly delicious. The soup turns out thick and spicy, with a pronounced pepper aroma. Don't be surprised by the addition of nuts—Georgians add nuts to almost all their dishes. The soup is ready to serve.
