Shorba Soup

(Original recipe makes 2 servings)

Ingredients

15 pieces cubed beef stew meat (you can also use chicken or lamb)1 small onion (Do not cut it to small pieces)
1/4 cup canned chickpeas
1/4 cup rice
1/2 tsp turmeric
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp dried dill
Lemon or lime slices

Directions:

Put meat and a small onion (I throw it away in the end of cooking) in the pot. Add enough water, cover, and let it cook for half an hour or until the meat is half-cooked.

If you are using dried chickpeas, you need to add them to the pot at the begging.

Add rice, chickpeas, salt, pepper and turmeric. Add water (if it needs more), and let it cook completely until the meat gets tender. Take out the onion and throw it away.
Add the dried dill in the end (10 minutes before the end). Serve with lemon slices.

My Notes:

• This soup is very simple and delicious 
• It is one of my first options to cook when somebody is sick and has cold
