Introduction
Chicken Shorba is a north Indian spicy chicken soup. Shorba comes from the Arabic word for soup and may have originated in Persia. However, Shorba is different from a traditional western soup as it can be served as an accompaniment to the main meal and not only as a starter. Shorba is also not generally as thick as most soup. Chicken Shorba/soup is very rich in content and one of the favourites of all chicken lovers. Here is an easy Chicken Shorba Recipe.
