Recipe for beef soup
To make soup a favorite dish for everyoneyour household and guests, you should approach the choice of products for it most responsibly. So, when choosing meat, try to make sure that its color is red, that is, the color range should not go beyond the range in which all shades of red are concentrated: from bright to dark. Fat streaks in the pulp are allowed, the color of which should be pink, and the fat itself should not be damp or wet. Beef knuckle, brisket and brisket are excellent for kharcho soup. So, to prepare Georgian kharcho soup, its recipe includes the following ingredients:
- 0,5 kg of beef,
- Half a glass of rice.
- 4 onions,
- 2-3 tbsp. spoons of vegetable oil,
- 1 tbsp. a spoonful of tomato paste,
- Spice,
- Salt,
- Greenery.
First, we start cooking the meat and at the same timebroth. To do this, the beef must be thoroughly cleaned of any films, bones (if any), rinsed several times and cut into small cubes. Rinse the chopped meat thoroughly again, put it in a large saucepan and fill it with water. This amount of meat will require about 9-10 glasses of cold water. Turn on the heat and put the saucepan with meat and water on the gas stove. From time to time, you need to check how the meat is cooking and remove the foam that has formed. This must be done before it boils, otherwise all the foam (and this is dirt left on the meat, released under the influence of heat treatment) will remain in the broth. Cook the meat until half-ready, which will take about half an hour or a little longer. By the time the meat is ready, you need to prepare the onion. Peel the onions, wash and cut into small cubes. Place all the onions in a pot of boiling broth and cook for 10 minutes. Wash the rice and add it to the soup. Cook the resulting mixture for another 20 minutes and add half of the greens, salt, pepper and any other seasoning (preferably adjika) to the soup. Reduce the heat to medium and heat a frying pan on the next burner. Pour in the vegetable oil, heat it up well and dissolve the tomato paste in it. Add the prepared dressing to the soup. Reduce the heat to low, crumble the spices, remaining greens and finely chopped garlic on top of the soup. When serving, pour the soup into individual plates and garnish with finely chopped parsley and dill. This recipe is one of the simplest and allows you to prepare a delicious lunch in a relatively short period of time. Based on this recipe, you can also prepare other varieties of kharcho soup.
