Crucially, ensure no grains (e.g., rice, bulgur) or potatoes are added to the soup, as is common in some chorba preparations. Request that any base vegetables are strained if a very clear broth is desired.
Watch out for
Minimal carbs from onions and herbs used in the broth. Verify no starchy vegetables or grains are included.
