Libyan Chorba – A hearty lamb & mint soup

Thank you for watching, if you're looking for a recipe for Bharat or 7 spice, I cover it in the Mbakbaka video https://youtu.be/wyMqTA9dfkA. The formula is quite simple and you can double it or make a large batch quite easily.

We're hoping to do 2 episodes a week for the duration of Ramadan, so if you want to support the show and help us make more videos, consider becoming a patron. You can get behind the scenes updates and your name in the video credits. https://www.patreon.com/MiddleEats

OH MY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YUMMY!

well done 👍 we don't fry Orzo before adding them to the soup though

Very authentic , similar to the one I learnt from my mother. Only thing is to try making your own tomatoes by blending fresh tomatoes , it makes a huge difference and makes your soup a lot smoother.

I made this. Tasted just like what I had as a child :') THANK YOU!

My favorite !

Thank you for this! I am half Libyan but I do not have good relations with my father, nor do I speak Arabic. But I am sure once I try this soup I will get nostalgia from happy family times and will make my future family happy with it <3

Love the channel, been using it to relearn a lot of the recipes i remember eating as a kid. Want to know if you would you be able to do any west asian and north african dishes that incorporate mushrooms?

Can’t wait to try this 😋

As a Libyan I just want to say that we don’t use fresh mints we dry it and crach it to small pieces

You should open up your own restaurant. Absolutely best middle eastern chef on youtube.

I am from Libya, very beautiful, your cooking and recipes are kind of very correct 🇱🇾

great recipe, we have it almost every day during Ramadan. Two small variations – we cook the birds tongue pasta without browning it first (although I will try browning it as a variation), and we also sprinkle a generous quantity of dried powdered mint at the end, shortly before serving the soup.

I LOVE the way you speed through your recipes. Too many people spend ages showing how to chop an onion! So boring!

You are a cool guy, you know. All that generosity happiness makes your videos worth the time. Oh, and the food. Peace, brother. To you and your family.
