Beef harira is a tasty Moroccan-style chickpea soup. A very satisfying aroma comes from the fresh herbs and spices. A comforting authentic soup with tremendous flavor and healthy too. Note: Often when it’s time to break the Ramadan fast, this soup will be eaten but will omit the meat and replace it with lentils and vegetable stock.
