Chorba (Vegetable Soup) Serves 4

Chorba means soup.  This recipe is usually for a lamb-based soup.  I
replaced the lamb with chunks of zucchini.

1 cup finely chopped onion
3 small zucchini, washed trimmed, cut into chunks
1 15 1/2 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzos) drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon sweet paprika
1 quart vegetarian broth
1/2 pound vermicelli, one inch long pieces

Saute onions in non-stick pan using liquid of your choice for 1-2
minutes until golden.  Add zucchini, chickpeas, 1/2 cup parsley and 1/4
cup mint.  Saute another 5 minutes.  Add the spices and the broth, and
bring to a boil.  Add vermicelli.  Continue to cook for ten minutes.
Serve hot, with the rest of the fresh herbs floating on top.  Warm
whole wheat bread is wonder with the soup.
