About Afghan shorba

Afghan Shorba is a traditional soup from Afghan cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. Typically prepared with lamb or beef, it incorporates a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, coriander, and cumin, alongside nutrient-packed carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes. This comforting dish is often thickened with lentils or chickpeas, offering a protein boost and sustained energy. Shorba’s base is often made with bone broth, providing essential minerals and aiding gut health. While it is a wholesome and nourishing meal, its healthiness can vary depending on the amount of oil or fatty meat used during preparation. For a lighter version, lean cuts of meat and minimal oil can be chosen. Afghan Shorba is not only a soothing dish but also a source of vitamins, fiber, and iron, making it both flavorful and beneficial when enjoyed in moderation.
