1. Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup (Harira)

I like to think of this as the Moroccan cousin to Italian wedding soup. There are bright little flavor bombs hiding in every spoonful.

The semolina gives it a thick, comforting base, and the turmeric, garlic, and cilantro bring all the warm, savory vibes. You just have to try it.
7. Moroccan Tomato Soup
This simple Moroccan tomato soup is my new favorite partner for grilled cheese. It brings in bright, cozy flavors like thyme, smoked paprika, harissa sauce, honey, and coconut milk.
Each spoonful is creamy, savory, a little spicy, and just sweet enough. Grandma’s tomato soup better watch its back.
