Lamb Or Chicken And Garbanzo Soup


This recipe originates from iran. i found it in classic international recipes. i found i really liked the taste, but i think i would leave out the lime juice next time...just my personal preference.

Steps


In a dutch oven , brown the lamb or chicken , half at a time in hot butter.
Remove the meat , and then add the chopped onion , and cook till tender but not brown.
Drain off the fat , and return the meat to the dutch oven.
Stir in undrained tomatoes , beans , lime juice , bay leaf , turmeric , paprika , cinnamon , 4 cups water , and add 1 / 2 tsp salt if using water instead of chicken stock.
Bring the mix to a boil.
Reduce heat.
Cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1 / 2 hours or till the meat is tender.
Remove the bay leaf.
Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with slice onions and radishes.
