There aren't many dishes that can match soup in terms of their ability to provide warmth and comfort during the winter. Similar to a sweater, a steaming bowl of soup warms the body while also providing flavour and nourishment. In relation to soup, a dish known as shorba is a comparable mixture that is a great wintertime dish. Shorba is a type of soup that is consumed as a component of numerous cuisines around the globe. Although it has its roots in the Middle East and is becoming increasingly well-known there, shorba is an Arabic word that means soup. Several Indian spices, including saffron, cumin, and turmeric, are used to make shorba; in addition to being very healthy, these ingredients also contain thermogenic qualities that support the maintenance of body temperature. It is an excellent option for non-vegetarians as well because meat is made but not given with it; this way, you may enjoy the comfort food without having to eat the stomach-heavy meat. Liquids are easy on the stomach and keep the body hydrated, which is crucial in cold weather and throughout the winter when many people get sick.
