In Lebanon is called “sharba” in romania its “supa” and to anyone that eats this soup is the “best soup you’ve ever tasted!”

Ingredients:

4 medium carrots

1 green pepper

1 medium white onion

2 small zuccini, chopped

2 small tomatoes, chopped

2 medium potatoes, small cubes

1 handful Eqyptian rice

oil

3 tbls. dried celery leaves

1 lemon

cream

For meatballs:

1/2 lb. ground beef or lamb

2 tbls. rice

1/4 onion, grated

1 egg

salt & pepper

parsley or dill (1 tsp dry or handful fresh)

Directions:

It’s best to use a food processor to finely chop the first three vegetables. Begin with the carrot and add 1 tsp. salt and a little oil to in a large pot. This soup isn’t meant to have large pieces of veggies, allowing all the flavors to sing together. Add pepper and onion until they are soft. Follow with zuccini, tomatoes, potatoes. Fill pot about 2/4 of the way full.

In a separate bowl add all ingredients and mix together with hand. Make small, quarter-sized meatballs and drop them into the soup. Boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Squeeze the juice from one whole lemon and add dried celery leaves. The final touch is pouring a desired amount of cream into each individual bowl, althought not necessary.
