About This Recipe
Georgian soup chikhirtma is less known here compared to kharcho, but in its homeland, it is no less popular. It is most often made from chicken (sometimes from lamb), necessarily thickened with corn flour and seasoned with lemon juice, which gives the dish a light, unobtrusive sourness. An essential part of chikhirtma is also cilantro — perhaps the most respected herb in Georgian cuisine. The soup is prepared fairly quickly and turns out so tasty that it has every chance of "registering" in your family menu.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Pour 0.25 cups of boiling water over the saffron for chikhirtma, cover and leave to infuse. Wash the chicken, put it in a saucepan, pour 2.5 liters of cold water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam, simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
Step 2
Remove the finished chicken for chikhirtma and put it in a bowl. Peel the onion and chop finely. Fry in hot butter for 8 minutes. Add to the broth, cook for 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Pour two ladles of broth into a separate bowl and let cool slightly. Then dilute the flour in it to make a liquid paste without lumps. Pour back into the pan, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Cut the cooled chicken for chikhirtma into small pieces and return to the broth, add salt and pepper to taste. Wash the cilantro, chop it, put it in a saucepan, cook for 5 minutes.
Step 5

Step 6
