    Moroccan Vegetable Soup (Chorba), From Eating Well magazine, October 2008 Chorba is Morocco’s answer to minestrone It’s hearty with chunks of beef or lamb, plenty of vegetables and a bit of pasta Turmeric gives the broth a rich, golden-orange color , First I need to say that I skipped the meat it’s self but did use the beef broth We loved this soup, the spice flavors make it something special It was hearty enought to become dinner with the orzo It would also be great with garbanzo’s in place of the pasta 😀
