Harira (Chickpea, Lamb and Coriander Soup) image

This is a wonderfully spiced and filling soup. Mmmmm, wish we had a winter around here... This is North African comfort food at it's best. Serve with toasted pita or Morrocan flat bread drizzled with a bit of good quality olive oil. If you're not crazy about cloves, like my DH, you can reduce to 1/4 tsp and adjust from there.

This soup was delicious! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The lamb was so tender and the broth was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a disappointment. The lamb was tough and the broth was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices. Other than that, the soup was fine.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I added too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll be sure to use less. Other than that, the soup was very flavorful and satisfying.

This harira soup is a true delight! The lamb is tender and flavorful, the chickpeas are perfectly cooked, and the broth is rich and aromatic. I especially love the hint of coriander, which adds a lovely freshness to the dish.
