Method
- Fry ½ grated onion for 3 min in an oiled stockpot, without colouring it, to keep the soup pale.
- Add 100 g of diced chicken breast and 1 pinch of cinnamon, and stir for 3 min to seal the meat.
- Pour in 500 ml of chicken stock, add 60 g of chickpeas and simmer covered for 25 min.
- Drop 40 g of vermicelli into the boiling stock and cook for just 4 min: it swells a lot.
- Check the salt, add black pepper and serve the chorba piping hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice if you like.
