Murgh shorba

(मुर्ग शोरबा)

Murgh shorba is a traditional chicken soup originating from North India. Although there are variations, it’s usually prepared with a combination of chicken pieces, ghee, onions, ginger-garlic paste, coriander, mint, garam masala, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.


The onions, ginger, and garlic are sautéed in butter with the dry spices, and then the meat is added to the stock. The soup is simmered for a short while (it shouldn’t be as thick as most other soups), and it’s then served warm.


Murgh shorba is usually served as a starter or as an accompaniment to different main dishes. For the best experience, it’s recommended to serve murgh shorba with garlic naan on the side.
