The ingredients of this soup are humble yet powerful. Each component is a testament to the Afghan way of cooking, which emphasizes freshness and flavor. The onions, forming the base, are more than just a vegetable; they are the foundation of countless Afghan dishes, bringing sweetness and depth. The carrots add not just color but a subtle sweetness, complementing the onions. Celery, with its distinctive flavor, introduces a refreshing crunch, balancing the softness of other ingredients.

Then there’s the veal, carefully chosen for its tenderness and ability to absorb the flavors of the spices and vegetables it’s cooked with. In Afghan cuisine, meat isn’t just a source of protein; it’s an ingredient that brings a dish together, adding substance and richness.

But what truly sets this soup apart are the spices – coriander powder, black pepper, and salt. These aren’t just seasonings; they’re the soul of the dish. Coriander powder, with its lemony-sage flavor, is a staple in Afghan cooking, offering a hint of citrus and warmth. Black pepper adds a subtle heat, awakening the senses, while salt brings out the flavors of all the ingredients, tying them together in a harmonious blend.
