Cut the beef brisket into large cubes and boil with water and bay leaves for 80 minutes.
Soften the onion in vegetable oil for 6 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and khmeli suneli and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the onion mixture to the beef broth.
Add the rice and cook for 15 minutes.
Puree the walnuts, garlic, and tkemali sauce and stir into the soup.
Cook the soup over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring so the walnuts do not stick.
Serve with cilantro leaves and black pepper.
💡 Tip: Adding the walnuts near the end thickens the soup without turning their oil bitter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with fresh cilantro and extra sour plum sauce.
