VEGETARIAN HARIRA

Vegetarian Harira image

Harira is the Moroccan soup served daily to break the sunrise-to-dusk fasting period during the month of Ramadan, the Muslim holiday. This vegetarian version offers a healthier option to those who chose to not eat meat. You can also add a small amt of pasta, such as angel hair or vermicelli broken into small pieces, if you wish.
