This is the basic Egyptian soup. A traditional Egyptian meal consists of lamb, beef, or chicken, soup, rice, and a vegetable. This is the base soup for almost every Egyptian recipe. A Ramadan winner.

This shorba was a disaster! The broth was bland and the lamb was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I won't be making this again.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The shorba was flavorful and the lamb was tender. However, the instructions were a bit confusing and the cooking time was longer than expected.

This shorba was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the lamb was very tender. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I love how customizable this recipe is. I added some extra vegetables and spices to make it my own, and it turned out perfectly. The shorba was hearty and flavorful, and it was the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

This shorba recipe was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with a side of warm naan, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
