It's a chickpea and lentil soup that's made with either beef or lamb. There are as many versions of harira as there are cooks, but traditionally it's a very simple and fairly light soup (ie, consisting of more broth than substance) because it's generally eaten as a starter to prepare the body for a larger meal to follow. Typically, Harira soup includes ground meat, but this easy version is vegetarian (and vegan) friendly!
Steps to make Harira - Red Lentil Soup:
- Heat olive oil in large pot or dutch oven. Sauté onion, carrot, parsley and cilantro until caramelized.
