Harira
Harira is the traditional lemony soup used to break the Moslem fast of
Ramadan. I think it's good for quieting hunger pangs anytime.
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
6 cups bouillon
1 t. tumeric
1 t. ground coriander
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cayenne, or to taste
1 potato, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 28-oz. can tomatoes, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup curly vermicelli or chinese noodles, crumbled
1 can chick peas (or two cups cooked)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 T. chopped mint leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring the onions, celery, bell pepper and 1/2 cup of the bouillon to a boil in a
large pot. Simmer about 10 minutes to soften the vegetables. Add the
remaining bouillon, spices, potato, carrots and tomatoes, and simmer 20
minutes. Stir in zucchini, noodles, chick peas and lemon juice and cook 5
minutes. Serve garnished with the chopped parsley, mint and ground pepper to
taste.
6-8 servings
