Directions
Harira (Moroccan Chickpea Soup), A lovely, nourishing soup from Morocco There are many variations; this very tasty (and interesting one) comes from David Scott’s Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery Posted in the hope of joing the North African and Middle Eastern Zaar Tag game 🙂 Please note that the pint I mention is a British pint of 20 fl oz , Just a comment here Harira and/or Morocco is not Middle Eastern and there is only one recipe for the national soup of Morocco with very minor variations; all being tomato based, never containing saffron, rice or eggs This looks like a fabulous soup though David Scott is not correct in calling THIS a soup from Morocco Enjoy!
