2nd step should be chicken soup not rabbit soup, mosh keda?? And so coriander is kosbara, right?

Also, it would be great if u have a listing of spices, veggies, etc. and their translations.

thanx for the great website :-)

cheers,

Could I replace the chicken soup for chicken broth or does it not work that way?
