How to make shurpa

2 genuinely different takes — a classic, and a faster or lighter route. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Clear, with a lot of dill

120 minutes · serves 6 · Very easy

What you need

  • 1kg lamb on the bone
  • 2 onions, sliced

  • 1 pepper, in strips
  • 1 tsp cumin seed
  • A very large bunch of dill
  • Salt and pepper

What you do

  1. 1Cover the lamb with cold water and bring it up slowly. Skim carefully — this soup is meant to be clear.
  2. 2Simmer an hour, barely moving. Add the onion and carrot.
  3. 3Thirty minutes later, the potato, tomato, pepper and cumin.
  4. 4Another 25 minutes until the potato is soft but whole.
