When we remember our childhood, we often think of home-cooked dinners, the recipes of which are passed down from generation to generation. This soup is exactly like that, and it seems to me that chicken soup gives any person, regardless of where they were born, a feeling of warmth and security, with it they feel at home everywhere. This recipe did not even have to be adapted to the restaurant format: rich broth, noodles, chicken meatballs - what could be better ? Perhaps a pinch of khmeli-suneli, which gives the soup a Georgian character. It is very convenient to cook a lot of broth at once, make the meatballs separately, and then simply combine them on the stove - this way, preparing a real homemade soup will take half an hour at most. Khatuna Kolbaya, co-owner of Saperavi Café and "Vai Me!" shared the recipe with us.
