Looks amazing! Since I liked your lentil soup so much I will definitely try this one out!

This made my heart jump with joy and sing, harira is such a staple here in Morocco, especially during Ramadan when it is served alongside some dates and boiled eggs. Yummm! One way to make prepping the ingredients easy and fast is to use a blender and blend the onion, tomato, parsley, cilantro and celery together, adding some water to help the blender go, and then you would add everything to the pot with 1 tablespoon of canola oil (usually and no more than 1tbsp otherwise your harira will end up with greasy aftertaste and you don't want that), your meat, legumes, spices,... Also, to make sure your flour is cooked, after adding the thickening mixture, you will start seeing some foam form on the top, you should keep cooking the harira while stirring frequently until the foam is gone (insider tip lol)

Thank you I'm Algerian and in algeria we love moroccan's recipes. 🇲🇦♥️🇩🇿

As a moroccan woman i'm very impresses. But i want to give you some advice to make the soup better and easier. Next time put the meat, cheakpea, a carrot, a potato and a whole onion in a pot with 1 liter of water. Dont cut the veggies smal. Just leave them whole. Do the spices; gingerpowder, kurkuma, pepper and salt. Let the veggies cook until soften and put it in a blender. Cook 4 or 5 tomatos in a separet pot until done (it's better than preserved tomatos) and put the tomatos with the water in the same blender with te cooked veggies and blend this very wel together. If it's thick just add some water to make it less thick. Than siff it trough a siff and pour it with te meat and cheakpea. Then do the tomato paste after a while do the lentels and the flour in the pot. Then the coriander, parsly and the selery leaves. Cook this good voor 30 min. Add the vermicelli and keep stirring and 10-15 min it's done.

Glorious food, terrific videos. No extraneous, irritating chit chat, clear camera work, good explanations and no obnoxious sound track. This is the gold standard!

This is delicious. I had it for the first time during last Ramadan. My neighbour brought me dinner every evening for the entire month. I ate it with tears in my eyes because it tasted almost like a soup my dad used to make. He was Slovenian but cooked many different dishes. Also there are several similarities with the Mediterranean influences in both cuisines.

Made my Moroccan mom watch it and she gave it a seal of approval. The only major thing she does differently is she uses olive oil instead of butter at the start. And instead of adding tomato paste at the end, she adds more tomato at the start.

Hi Obi! I just wanted to say I love your channel! Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food is some of my favorite and it's great to finally learn how to make it as authentic as possible! It also makes me think of a project I have been trying to gain traction on since beginning medical school. As a medical student I've noticed that when it comes to dietary restrictions for people with, say Diabetes Mellitis, Hypertension, High cholesterol/Lipids, Crohns or Irritable Bowel Syndrome or just obesity that the diets prescribed are often lackluster and alien to many people, especially people of different ethnicities, and that this cultural difference can be so great between diets and the patient that this leads to them having difficulties maintaining these regimens resulting in poor health outcomes. For example, convincing a 65 year old man with hypertension who has grown up with Mexican food his entire life to change this behavior completely and instead adopt a diet with food that he is completely unfamiliar with would be far less effective than creating recipes and cooking manuals with Mexican dishes tailored specifically for patients with chronic medical conditions like him. . I believe it would be far easier for people to maintain a dietary regimen if that diet were tailored to their particular culture, as this would be more familiar. That being said, I'm trying to collect recipes from all over the world little by little to create regional, even national diets and I'd like to pick your mind if possible about any healthy, authentic Middle Eastern recipes since here in Chicago many immigrant populations have seen rapidly growing cases of Hypertension, Diabetes and High cholesterol. I believe that our people shouldn't have to suffer from lackluster food just because of illness and should still be able to enjoy eating, as this is one of the things that makes life worth living.

I'm Moroccan and I'm impressed. Every family have their own recipe for this soup. The only comments I have to get a better result would be to blend the celery stalks, filter it and use the water only, that's if the area you live in don't sell the celery leaves. Same applies to onions, blend the onions and use the water only. Trust me you'll get a better result.

I made this soup for dinner tonight. The fresh lemon makes this delicious dish even better. I will definitely make this soup again.

I'm moroccan and this was perfect!! If anyone wants to try it, I personally love to drop an egg and stir it in. I love the taste!

Just made this now for the first iftar of Ramadan, I tripled the receipe :)

One of my favorite soups. I make it vegetarian and it's shockingly delicious.

Bravooo I am Moroccan and this is my exact recipe to make harira

only the name of this channel deserves a standing ovation! Bravo from Italy :)

I just made this tonight with TVP chunks instead of meat. It is absolutely delicious. My new favourite

I am Morroccan and this looks so yummy!!!! U did good!

I had this soup in Morocco. It's one of the best lentil soups with complex and rich flavors.

You really do deserve a lot more subs. You're very thorough in explaining how to do each step. Great job.👍

A few more days of Ramadhan left... I'm definitely making this version. Thank you.

This is my favorite soup. My Moroccan Jewish grandmother would make this for us when she was alive

Made this tonight for dinner for the family and everyone loved it. Delicious soup!!!

Definitely my favorite food. The taste is otherworldly yet grounded in history and ancient cultures. It reminds me of an ancient roman soup as well. Excellent recipe.

This is an ACTUAL recipe with precise instructions for someone who hasn't made something like this before. Great job.

My hubby it's Egyptian and he loves this, Obi we love this recipe yum!

i've been cooking harira for 12 years now give or take, it's my Ramadan special

I made a veggie version, added more chickpeas to try and get some more protein in there, and two sliced cayenne chillis and 2 tsp of chilli powder. Didn't have any vermicelli so added some broken-up egg noodles. Delicious. Thank you very much for sharing.

I must say , your cutting style is very calming

I love Moroccan cuisine

A restaurant where I used to live would serve this with every meal and it was my absolute favorite. Sometimes, if I wasn't feeling well, my dad would go to get this soup specially because it always made me feel better. Thank you for teaching me how to make it.

Yes love everything Moroccan 🇲🇦

I used to work with Morocan teens as a social worker and they showed me this recepie. We did it a couple of times for ramadan and it was delicious

10000000 like from a Moroccan HARIRA lover

came for the recipe, stayed for the quality of the video and the AWESOME CHANNEL NAME :-) --> instant sub

I made this a couple of days ago. Wow! So delicious! I can't stop eating it. My only substitutions were, that I used ground turkey cooked separately from the onion, and to which I added 7 spices. I sauteed the onions separately to caramelize them, added the tomato paste first into the onions to toast the paste a little before adding the seasoned turkey. I also subbed out the green lentils for brown. Other than that it was all the same. Thank you for the recipe. Now, this American is that much closer to mastering Middle Eastern food. I love your channel!

This looks amazing. AS a vegan I just omit the meat and use Pumpkin or Sweet potato instead. Still delicious. Thank you for an awesome recipe... I have now started following you. I love Middle Eastern food

Thank you for spreading our beautiful food to the world! Harira was always my favourite soup growing up.. sadly mama ony made it in Ramadan hahaha

I'm 15 yo girl and since no one has thought me to cook, I'll learn by myself. I love vegetables so this soup is really for me

This channel is a gold mine for slow carb recipes. Im so sick of black beans so I just knock out a few easy lentil soups from this channel with adjustments.

Just made this and it was sooo good! I actually used chicken thigh meat and it worked really well. I’ve watched many of your videos and now that I know I can trust your recipes, I will be making so much good food! Thank you!

Moroccan cuisine is legit my favorite 🤩 i tried harira before it’s amazing especially in the winter

maybe not everyone needs it, but even as an experienced home cook i LOVE that you show what each ingredient or step looks like very clearly. NEVER STOP.

I’m Egyptian but when it comes to lentil soup .. the Moroccan version is richer in taste, I loved it

Fellow Moroccan here. Besides having it in Ramadan, we also do have it at least once a month in dinners. It's just that tasty. Great video 👍👍

I will try it without meat, because I am Vegetarian - thank you for your lovely being

made this for dinner tonight and it was amazing! definitely one of my new favorite soups

Happy New Year, Obi! I discovered your channel via Chinese Cooking Demystified's post a few months back and have loved diving into the wonderful world of Middle Eastern cooking with your weekly updates. Your charm and the accessibility of the recipes make for a winning combo, and harira is most definitely now on my 'try this at home' list. Thanks for all that you do and best of luck in the New Year with even more growth. Your channel very much deserves it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

That looks PERFECT for a chilly, damp day like today! I look forward to trying it!

Excited to try and make this!

Second time making this in two weeks. It is so unassuming, but completely blows people away.

Just sitting here and eating a plate of your Maroccan Harira. It is jummy!!!

Made this a couple days ago, so delicious! the clear, meticulous instructions and well documented stages in the video were so helpful!

I just tried making this. It's a perfect rainy day dish.

Again, Good Soup! Thank you for the video!

Our main dish for Ramadan

I made it yesterday but a vegetarian version. I used 1/3 cup of carrots, red peppers and potatoes. I also used fresh ginger, 1 tbs. It didn’t need any flour slurry, I guess the potatoes thickened the soup. I didn’t add the vermicelli, didn’t have any, and actually the soup was thick enough. As you say at the end , the lemon juice is essential to lift all the flavours. It was really good, I had 2 bowls 😋, but next time I’ll try the original version with lamb.

For a flavorful alternative to the flour slurry - make a roux with the flour and some oil until you reach your preferred color. Add the herbs for a moment, then put everything into the soup to thicken. This is a common technique in Hungarian soup making, and adds a wonderful depth of flavor you don't get with a slurry.

I could eat this dish everyday. Healthy and heart warming. Thank you sir.

I'm in love with Harira😍I cooked it many time in Ramadan to break my iftar U made it with details and an easy way Thank you so much ❤️

Definitely going to make this!

You have such a lovely voice!!! I love this and can't wait to try it. Lentil soups are my favorite

I’m gonna try to make this. Looks very straight forward

Nice version, I would use fresh ginger instead and before adding the water, I would fried all spices a bit. I believe there is a lots of variations of this wonderfully comforting soup. Thanks for sharing.

omg! i made the recipe and turned out so delicious! and super easy to make! but i did adapt the recipe for me (no lamb, no flour - there was no need for it). thanks for sharing!

I've watched this video so many times, as I've made this recipe a number of times over the last year or so, that I feel like you're an old friend! Which of course you're not. But thank you for your recipe, your video, and your warm, clear delivery. My whole family loves this recipe.

You really should be a voice actor for documentaries !! Also thanks for sharing the recipe, I love harira ❤️

I lived in Morocco for a few years, the best harira I ever eat was in the town of assilah in a cheap little restraunt outside of the Medina, best damn soup I ever had, albeit the restraunt was a bit beat up and run down used to go there every morning in winter and get a bowl of it for breakfast with a simple rolls of bread. Great in winter. Its supposed to be eaten in the evening but I'm a bit weird and it was my favourite start to the day.T

U give the clearest instructions of any cook I have ever seen or heard

This looks SO good!! You've explained the cooking process so well. Can't wait to try this :) Thank you!

I like that your kitchen looks so much like mine and many others I’ve been in. It’s good to see delicious food cooked using equipment that is easy to access.

It’s winter here in Sydney which means soup season has begun and I’ll be making this

Excellent recipe! I’ve never combined lentils and chickpeas, I will give this recipe a try!

I doubled your recipe and it lasted for one day. We didnt want to eat anything else! Im making it again today, it is delicious!

I watch a lot of cooking shows. This is the first time I have run across one of your videos. I found you amazing to watch. Thank you for the wonderful instructions. I have subscribed and I look forward to making this at home for the bf who requested it. LOL. Thank you.

Tyvm bro! Im searching for lentil based dishes, as they are one of the most anchient foods we have. Just dig into this topic and you'll see.

It sounds delicious, I can't wait to cook it for my family! Thank you for the recipe!

Middle Eastern food is not on my list of foods I can make... until I started watching your videos! Thanks you so much. I used to have to go out for good Middle Eats!

I finally made it and it was awesome and delicious for winter in South Africa

Really loved your process of explaining each step throughout the video. I loved it! I will most definitely be trying this recipe on an upcoming lazy Sunday. Hope you and yours are doing well!

Man I'm so happy I found your channel, been wanting to get more into Middle Eastern food but didn't know where to find authentic recipes. I will definitely give this one a go it sounds and looks delicious thanks for sharing it!

Smashed out again.....this recipe rocks

First time seeing your channel. I need to make a veggie version of this. Subscribed!

I have made it quite a few times and turns out great every time. Thankyou for the recipe.

Brilliant channel & recipe explanations!! Have been trying to find an authentic middle eastern recipe channel. Greetings from the Netherlands.

amazing stuff! made it, best soup i've ever made (minus the thickening, not necessary)

Love Harira and you explained this so perfectly. Thank you! Best video yet 👏

Great video. Enough detail for beginning cooks, but not so dragged out that an experienced cook will click out. I've not heard of this being made with meat. It is delicious without the meat!

I am most definitely not a soup person, but Harira won my heart ❤️

Looks great I can hardly wait.

just found your channel, love this dish, thanks! subbed. atb

Brother thank you I made this with cut up oyster mushrooms instead of Lamb, was amazing

Best soup I ever eat . Thank you for sharing 🙂

I watched a couple of Harira vids and this one brought it all together in a clear way so thanks

Beautifully explained and thoughtfully presented 😍 Can’t wait to try this and others from your channel. 👌🏻

I love how authentic your culture cooking is

You are a legend for posting the recipe in the description.
