Root vegetables, spices, chickpeas and lentils come together beautifully in this Moroccan inspired Harira soup, a nutritious and filling and one-pot meal. Vegan and gluten free.

I love one-pot meals. They’re easy, they’re quick to prepare and they’re usually large enough to last you several days.

And for me, the ultimate one-pot meal, is soup. You can literally throw anything in and make it super hearty, filling and balanced. And it’s a great way to get your daily serving of veggies, too!

The traditional Harira soup is typically made with beef or lamb, and doesn’t include many vegetables. We’ve created our own vegan version, adding some extra veggies and a hint of heat, just to spice it up a little bit.
