Shurva (hearty soup / sho'rva)

Shurva (sho'rva) is a slow-simmered soup—lamb bones, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes chickpeas or noodles. It is the reset button after long flights or cold weather.

American kitchens may dial down fat skimming for richer mouthfeel; ask if you prefer a leaner bowl. Some menus cross-list shurva under "Uzbek lamb soup."

Soups travel well in insulated bags; add fresh herbs at home if they arrive packaged separately. Crusty tandir bread on the side is non-negotiable.

Find shurva by browsing Uzbek restaurants on UzEats and filtering reviews for "soup" or "broth."
