After nearly 10 years, I posted over 3 dozen incredible soup recipes on the website and they keep coming. It can be a nice Creamy Tomato Basil & Parmesan Soup 🍅, Corn Chowder, Garlic Soup, Cauliflower Cheese Soup, French Onion Soup Gratinée, etc.
In my book 📗, soup with meat in it is a full meal and besides Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup, Avgolemono Chicken Soup, Lasagna Soup, Albóndigas • Mexican Meatball Soup, Split Pea & Ham Soup, here’s the latest one… my version of Moroccan Harira Soup!
Like I say in my video 🎥 intro – “this soup really sticks to your ribs!”. With beef cubes, vegetables, legumes, an array of spices and herbs simmered in a lovely beef broth and topped with vermicelli, this is a bowl loaded with deliciousness!
Originating in North Africa, this Moroccan Harira Soup can be made with either beef, lamb 🐏 or chicken. If you decide to go with lamb shoulder, switch the broth for chicken and besides cilantro and parsley, add fresh chopped mint… a ¼ cup at the most!
As I mentioned above, there are a lot of ingredients that go into this hearty soup. When it comes to celery, the leaves can be added to the dish. My celery heart 🥬 was lacking them but if yours has some, add them as they are packed with more vitamins and minerals than the stalk itself.
This one-pot recipe is one of my winter favorites 💖 not only because it’s robust but also because of its gorgeous seasoning! It doesn’t lack spices as there are a lot going in. It’s so worth it because it gives that deep flavor of richness in this soup!
As we know, legumes are very good for us 💚. They’re packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re also low in fat, help with blood sugar control, digestion and weight management. They’re chickpeas and green lentils, both great food items to add to your diet.
To thicken the soup 🥣, I use a cornstarch slurry instead of the flour for a few reasons. First and foremost, it’s gluten-free. Second, it doesn’t need much to get the thickening result, and last, it gives a smooth texture to the soup without clouding it.
On the other hand, using flour will give you a slight earthier flavor while the cornstarch won’t. It’s a matter of preference. Either you go for a cornstarch or flour slurry, they need to be mixed in cold water 💦 to prevent lumps.
There are a couple options when it comes to the final main component. You can use vermicelli or spaghettini, broken into ½-inch pieces. Rice 🍚 is also another option. Long-grain rice is probably the most common ingredient but if using short-grain, the soup will be creamier.
Last but not least is adding herbs and lemon juice 🍋 at the end. As both herbs (parsley & cilantro) lose the flavor due to the heat, by adding a couple tablespoons at the end, it brings back their freshness. Also, I find that adding lemon juice gives a nice finishing touch by brightening up the soup.
During the harsh months of winter, Moroccan Harira Soup is exactly what we need. There’s nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of soup to deal with our cold Canadian 🍁 weather. Served with crusty bread, this is a delicious, filling and nourishing meal to enjoy…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
