Harira (Moroccan Bean Soup) Recipe

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, combine the chickpeas or lentils, shallots, saffron, turmeric, ginger, tomatoes, tomato paste, stock or water, olive oil, half of the cilantro, and half of the parsley. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove 1/2 cup of the liquid and pour into a small bowl. Add the flour and stir until there are no lumps. Add more liquid if it looks too much like a paste. Whisk this mixture back into the large saucepan. Also, add the lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the soup cook for five minutes.

3. 3

   Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining cilantro and parsley.
