Afghan traditional soup or Shorwa.

Shorwa (Dari Persian/Pashto: شوروا; or shurwa, shorba, surwa;[1] literally "soup") is a traditional Afghan soup. The larger Persian term[2] shorba is used to mean "soup" widely across the Islamic world (c.f. Turkish çorba).

Shorwa is meant to be a simple dish. It is usually served communally in a single bowl and is mixed with bread on the dastarkhān.[3] Preparing the shorwa is a long process and to speed up the process a pressure cooker is used normally. It takes at least two hours to get it cooked in the pressure cooker.[4] The main ingredients for shorwa are potato, meat (mutton,[5] beef or chicken) and beans.[6]
