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.

This harira was really good, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This harira was really good, but it was a bit too time-consuming to make. I had to simmer it for over an hour, and then I had to wait for it to cool before I could blend it. If you have the time, it's definitely worth making, but if you're short on t
