Lamb Shurpa with Chickpeas and Chili in a Cauldron

Make this Uzbek soup and your whole family will love it! Lamb shurpa is traditionally cooked over an open fire out in the field, but it comes out just as well at home in a cast-iron Dutch oven or heavy pot. Choose bone-in lamb for the richest, most flavorful broth. This soup is meant to be spicy, but go by your own taste and adjust the amount of chili as you like.

    1. The night before, put the chickpeas in a bowl, cover with cold water, and leave them to soak overnight.
    1. Rinse the meat, place it in the pot, cover with cold water, and cook for 15 minutes.
    1. Add the soaked chickpeas and the whole chili peppers (leave them whole), then simmer the broth for an hour or longer.
    1. Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings. Add it to the soup, salt to taste, and cook for another hour — by now the meat should be tender.
    1. Peel and rinse the potatoes and carrots. Cut the carrots into thick rounds and the potatoes into quarters. Add them to the pot with the rest of the ingredients.
    1. Core and seed the bell pepper, rinse it, and cut it into large chunks. Add it to the pot about 10 minutes after the potatoes.
    1. Rinse and dice the tomatoes. Peel the garlic and crush the cloves with the flat of a knife. Add the tomatoes and garlic to the soup 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
    1. Rinse the green onion and chop it finely, then stir it into the soup along with the spices: cumin, ground red pepper, and coriander.
  • And that's it — your fragrant shurpa is ready!
  • Enjoy!
