This plant-based harira soup is a comforting and nourishing dish, packed with protein-rich chickpeas and lentils. Infused with warm spices like cinnamon and ginger, it offers a hearty texture and aromatic flavor, making it perfect on its own or paired with fluffy couscous or labne for added creaminess.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. canned chickpeas
  • 1 cup French lentils
  • 2 tsp. ginger, grated (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 16 oz. Saturday Sauce
  • 24 oz. vegetable broth
  • 24 oz. water
  • 1 tsp. cilantro, dried
  • 1 tsp. parsley, dried
  • 1 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped (suggested addition)

Directions

  1. Put all of your ingredients in a pressure cooker.
  2. Slow cook with high pressure on the Soup/Stew setting, approx. 4 hours.
  3. When getting close to being ready to serve your soup, stir your soup and press the 'simmer' setting, allowing your soup to cook on a boil for approx. 30 min. until it thickens (by releasing steam), ensuring all veggies and legumes are soft.
  4. Serve with fresh cilantro on top, or with a dollop of labne on top or cous cous mixed in.
