Chikhirtma is a traditional Georgian soup known for its rich flavor and velvety texture. Its history dates back to ancient Georgian cuisine when dishes were made with simple yet rich ingredients. The base of the soup is chicken broth prepared with aromatic spices and plenty of onions.

Fresh cilantro complements the dish with vibrant herbal notes. Chikhirtma is perfect for cold days, warming and satisfying, and is traditionally served at feasts alongside Georgian dishes. It’s not just a soup—it’s true culinary poetry that combines tradition and rich flavor.
