  • How do you make Moldovan chorba — bean soup with chicken? A good hot soup is the heart of any cuisine, and it's no secret that soup is some of the most nourishing, wholesome food there is. Every country has its own countless takes on it. One vacation my husband and I were traveling the world and unexpectedly found ourselves in mysterious Romania, where I picked up loads of recipes from warm, generous people. I loved the care they put into their cooking. Romanian cuisine is famous for both its soups and its main courses, and since my husband adores a good hot bowl, I jotted down a recipe for a soup with the intriguing name "chorba" that turned out to be absolutely delicious. I came home with a suitcase full of good memories and new ideas, and now I want to share this little wonder with you and pass along a bit of that Romanian warmth. First, make a broth from the chicken giblets. Add an onion, a carrot, a bay leaf, and some pepper. Bring it to a boil and drain off that first water; rinse everything, cover with fresh water, and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes. Next, make a sauté: dice the onion and carrot, then stir them into the broth. Let the vegetables simmer slowly until the chorba comes to a boil. Now, for incredible flavor and aroma, add the wine. And there it is — our unusual little soup, ready to serve. Bring it to the table right away. There's nothing like tasting the warmth of summer in the middle of a rainy fall or a snowy, frosty winter — and best of all, your family gets a bowl that's not just wildly delicious but good for them, too.
