Moroccan Vegetable Soup (Chorba)

If I could rate this higher, I would! I can't get over the flavor in this soup and the rich colors. It is a party in my mouth. Whoever said this was bland, did something wrong or didn't add in all the herbs or spices. One thing I did do that might have added more zing was using Rotel diced tomatoes with mild green chilies and I did not have zucchini, so I used a big handful of baby spinach. I also also lessened the liquid by 2 cups so that it was more of a stew. My husband is English doesn't like real spicy food, but he ate it all without one complaint. This puts my regular 'ho hum' beef vegetable soup to shame. The saffron was not hard to find at all. Walmart had it in the spice aisle.

Delish!

Disappointed I was looking forward to eating this soup but was disappointed. I used lamb and the soup was very blah! I guess I must like spicy food. Pros: healthy Cons: flavorless

This is one of my favorite vegetable soups. I'm a vegetarian so I omit the meat and use chickpeas instead. My husband adds meat into his portion, which makes it a great meal for both of us to share and enjoy. The turnips are great in this, so if you're not sure if you like them, give them a try!

my husband especially loved this. left out cilantro, turnips and saffron and it still rocked.

This is very tasty. The beef came out super tender, and the broth is flavorful thanks to using beef broth. Only challenge was figuring out what they mean by a "pinch" of saffron? I put in about 10 strands, not having any idea if this is too much. Andrea, Wheat Ridge, CO
