Wash the onions, carrots and cilantro under running water. Measure out the required amount of ingredients and place them on the table for easy preparation.
Cut the onion into half rings.
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Boil the rice until tender - about 30 minutes after the water boils.
Rinse the beans until the water is clear. Pour 2 liters of water into a small saucepan, add the beans and cook until tender, 1.5-2 hours.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Fry the carrots and onions until golden.
Continue frying for another 2-3 minutes, stirring. Remove overcooked food from heat.
Add rice, refried beans and garlic to the cooked beans.
Salt, pepper, throw in a bay leaf, add adjika and chopped cilantro. Simmer for another 5 minutes. The soup is ready!
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Bon appetit!
