Thanks for visiting!
Ramadan is just a few days away. I've been busy trying to prepping for Ramadan cleaning the house, pre-buying what I'll need at least for the first week, planning menus and pre-prepping dishes and in general making everything more inviting. Doing this now for the past 6 years has made my Ramadan as a wife and mother easier giving me more time for worship and acts of charity.
During Ramadan in Algeria, much like many other Muslim countries soups are a nourishing and omnipresent dish on the iftar table. Soups are easy to throw together in a pot, requiring not much attention and are so deliciously filling. I have previously posted several soups we often enjoy during Ramadan like this Egyptian lentil soup, this Algerian red soup using handrolled vermicelli, Chourba Beïda, this Harira from Oran or even this Chourba Express.
For this recipe, I made a video. I started a cooking channel on YouTube a few months ago but unfortunately being a mother of 5 and the poor Internet connection doesn't allow me the time to always post there. But enchAllah took a look, I do post recipe videos and helpful tips. Here is the link for the soup video here.
I'll be doing a soup recipe round up in the next few days so stay tuned for that!
For this recipe, I have used a pressure cooker to cut down on the cooking time. You could prepare this soup in a slow cooker, tadjine, Earthware clay pot or even any cast iron pot. The cooking time will be longer.
