Ciorbă (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈt͡ʃʲorbə]), from Persian shorba (شوربا) via Turkish çorba is a general Romanian word used in Romania and the Republic of Moldova to describe sour soups consisting of various vegetables and meat. Most people differentiate between "supă" (soup) and "ciorbă" by the fact that supă has no added acid and is usually clear (with only one exception), while ciorbă may contain a wide variety of sour ingredients, usually lemons, borș, or zeamă de varză acră (sauerkraut juice). In Moldavia region, the word borș means simply any sour soup.[1] Lovage is a frequent addition.
Ciorbă is a widespread and popular dish in Romania, and is occasionally considered to have beneficial health effects.[2] When served hot it is thought to stimulate digestion and be effective against colds.[3]
