Moroccan Beef Harira Soup

A warm comforting bowl of Moroccan Beef Harira Soup which is a Tomato Soup with Chickpeas and Lentils. Perfect winter warmer meal which I served with a robust sourdough.

What is Harira

Harira is a traditional North African soup prepared in Morocco and Algeria. It is popular as a starter but is also eaten on its own as a light snack. There are many variations and it is mostly served during Ramadan, although it can be made throughout the year.

It is also part of the Maghrebi cuisine, where lemon juice and egg are added to brighten the flavors of the soup. Like Muslims, who traditionally have the filling soup for Iftar meals, Jews break their fast with it during Yom Kippur.

Tadouira is a thickening mixture made from flour and water and sometimes canned tomato paste, which is added at the end of the cooking process.
