Soup Cravings: Harira (Moroccan Lentil Soup)
The cooler, rainier fall weather of late has gotten me in a serious soup-craving mood. Every weekend, I would make a big pot of soup to last me the week—perfect for an easy lunch solution or a light dinner on nights I’m not feeling very hungry. This week’s soup is the Moroccan national dish—harira.
If you’ve never had harira, it’s a rich tomato-based lentil soup, flavoured with a variety of spices and herbs, simmered for a long time to concentrate the flavours, and thickened with flour. It’s certainly a hearty soup, and can easily be eaten on its own as a light meal. And it is so delicious!
