Vegetarian Kharcho (Spicy Georgian Soup) image

This is a spicy, hearty Georgian soup. It is traditionally made with meat, but I adapted a vegetarian version from a Georgian cookbook. It calls for the khmeli-suneli spice mix, of which there are as many varieties as there are cooks who make it themselves. The khmeli-suneli spice mix is available from Russian food stores, or can be mixed to your own taste. One recipe of this mix is Khmeli-suneli spice mix from Georgia.
