Best Vegetarian Harira Recipes

VEGETARIAN MOROCCAN HARIRA

Vegetarian Moroccan Harira image

Harira is a famous Moroccan soup, and here's a hearty vegetarian (and vegan!) version - packed with tomatoes and chickpeas and flavored with paprika, turmeric, saffron, ginger, and harissa. The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the thickness you want. I like this soup pretty thick and nourishing, so I do not add too much water.

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.
