Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook kharcho with potatoes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients to prepare this dish.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the beef, dry it, then cut it into cubes 2-3 cm in size. This soup can be prepared from any meat: beef, lamb, pork or chicken. In any case, the soup will be delicious.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the chopped meat in a saucepan, add water and put on fire. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking the meat for 1.5 hours. Using a slotted spoon, periodically remove the foam from the surface of the broth so that it is not cloudy.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the meat is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Soak the rice in warm water. Wash the potatoes, peel them using a vegetable peeler, and then cut them into small cubes, about 1-2 cm.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the garlic and onions. Finely chop the onion. If desired, the onion can be grated on a fine grater. Chop the garlic as well, either by finely chopping it or running it through a garlic press.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now get to the tomatoes. If desired, they can be replaced with 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes for literally 1 minute, then place them in cold water, then peel the tomatoes and cut them into cubes the same size as you cut the potatoes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fry the chopped onion in a frying pan with olive oil for 2-3 minutes until light golden brown. Then add half the chopped tomatoes to the pan with the onions. Stirring occasionally, simmer the vegetables for 5-7 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Once the beef is cooked and tender, add the rice, potatoes and remaining diced tomatoes to the pan. Continue simmering the soup until the potato rice is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   After this, add roast, spices and salt to the soup. Boil all the ingredients for another 5-10 minutes, then turn off the heat and add the garlic. Let the soup brew for another 5-7 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the soup with cilantro or any other herbs. It could be dill or parsley.

I have cooked kharcho more than once and never cease to be amazed at the variety of cooking options) This Kharcho soup with potatoes and rice is distinguished by a large amount of tomatoes (tomato), it was somehow scary to add so much. But the family liked the soup, only my daughter said it was a little sour) I cooked the soup using beef ribs, so I couldn’t cut the meat into pieces. I just boiled a piece and then cut it into small pieces. This kharcho is also distinguished by the presence of potatoes. This is where I’m very happy) Well, we can’t eat soup without potatoes, it’s not usual) It turned out very satisfying with potatoes. In general, the soup is rich, the beef broth is satisfying. Instead of fresh tomatoes, I used tomato paste diluted in broth. I added spices so that it was not too spicy, and instead of cilantro, parsley. We liked the soup, it was tasty, filling, just right for lunch.

For the first course I cooked a wonderful kharcho soup with potatoes and rice. Instead of beef, I took pork - this meat is more affordable in price. I prepared the soup according to the recipe. The only things I didn’t add were cilantro, allspice and suneli hops. I used the parsley I had in the refrigerator. I had my own dried basil. The leaves were very soft, they didn’t want to crumble, so I put them whole in the soup. And also, as stated in the recipe, I put the garlic at the very end, in my case - directly into the plates. I also added a little mayonnaise. The soup turned out very aromatic and tasty! And also rich and satisfying! The plates were empty in an instant! Thank you very much for the recipe!

I still remember the taste and aroma of the kharcho soup that my mother prepared for us as a child! Back then it was prepared from a briquette, but I want to tell you - it was a very tasty soup! - My favorite! All the spices were very well chosen. Recently I asked my son to buy a briquette of kharcho - it’s not even close to the same taste and appearance! I will definitely try to cook according to your recipe!?

With potatoes it’s somehow familiar to Russian cuisine. Nourishing and tasty, and with seasonings it will only taste better
