There are millions of versions of lentil soup. The spins and twists and additions … that people around the world make! From the plain, the creamy to the Harira and everything in between! Each version of lentil soup is amazing! Always a pleasure, always comforting and a sense of home in every bite! No matter how you twist, turn, fold, boil, serve this… lentil soup is ultimate comfort food.

In this recipe I have made it a truly Middle Eastern soup, taking elements and ingredients from the whole of the Middle east and allowing them to marry nicely together in the same pot, simmering over medium heat… each giving its own flavors, its contribution and over all dishing up an irresistible, delicious, hearty, warm, deep and utterly comforting soup. Mixing the texture of Moroccan Harira, and that of the creamy blended lentil soup… I can’t say enough, you really have to try it to know it…

Before I go, the Sujuk is Divine, the flavor of it mixed with the lentils is unforgettable!! Adding a touch of my Fermented Zaatar to the soup, lifts up the whole experience, adds a fresh, earthy, herby and deep flavor… won’t say no more, just give it a try and truly enjoy!
