Ciorbă (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈt͡ʃorbə]) from Arabic via the Turkish word çorba is a general Romanian word describing sour soups consisting of various vegetables and meat. Most Romanians differentiate between supă (soup) and ciorbă by the fact that soup has no added acid and is most of the times clear (there’s only one exception) while ciorbă may contain a wide variety of sour ingredients usually lemons borş or zeamă de varză acră (Sauerkraut juice).
