Why is this soup so good?
Beef provides the body with protein, rich and ready to support movement. It keeps us fueled throughout the day. Fiber-rich potatoes and rice provide our body with starches, important for our digestive function.
The best benefit that soup provides is healing when we’re sick. I love soups, especially when I’m not feeling well. With rich ingredients and a delicious, flavorful broth, soup is irresistible.
Enjoy this amazing and delicious Kharcho Soup, straight out of my own kitchen. Have a perfect bowl of love!
Key Ingredients:
Beef is rich in protein and benefits for our body. It’s a great meat to have when we need an extra boost.
Potatoes are starchy and fill us up, perfectly complementing the rest of the ingredients.
Rice may not be common in soups, but in this soup it provides a great source of carbohydrates.
Onion adds flavor to the beef while sautéing and is loaded with vitamins that support our immune systems.
Tomato paste adds a rich flavor to the beef as it’s cooking. It adds a unique depth to dishes.
Garlic has amazing anti-inflammatory benefits.
Along with those ingredients, you’ll need olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley (for garnish).
Some, if not most of these ingredients, are simple ingredients that you might already have on hand.
