So I am kind of having a moment with Moroccan flavors right now.
I know I say this almost all of the time about the foods that I make and eat, so I totally understand your doubts (obsessed? or overly dramatic?), but someone might need to put a restraining order on me to keep me away from these soups.
We are talking about rich broths and tender veggies and warm spices that just make your heart sing. It is soup season and I am 99% sure these bowls of goodness are the only thing you are going to want to eat for the rest of the winter.
1. Moroccan Chicken Lentil Soup
Let’s just give the standard chicken noodle the night off, shall we?
This Moroccan chicken lentil soup is here to take its place. Tender chunks of chicken are swimming in a light broth with lentils, and it is glorious.
It’s packed with Moroccan spices like saffron, cinnamon, and cumin, plus some hearty greens. This is exactly the kind of soup you want when you’re feeling a little under the weather.
2. Moroccan Bean Stew (Loubia)
Let’s call this Moroccan chili, okay? It pairs white beans with a thick, flavorful tomato base that is just impossible to resist.
The great thing about this stew is that it’s healthy, vegan, and basically exploding with bright spices.
And even though it’s meat-free, that smoked paprika gives it a meaty bite that makes this a super-filling dinner.
3. Moroccan Tomato Soup
This simple and flavorful Moroccan tomato soup is the perfect match for your grilled cheese. It incorporates bright spices like thyme, smoked paprika, harissa sauce, honey, and coconut milk.
It is creamy, savory, spicy, and a little sweet. Grandma’s tomato soup better watch out!
4. Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup (Harira)
This soup has a little bit of everything going on. The chickpeas and lentils are there to boost the protein and fiber, while bright spices lift all those flavors right out of the bowl.
It’s smoky and sweet, and it just begs for a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
5. Moroccan Fish Stew
This stew is light and flavorful and needs to be served with a crusty baguette immediately. It’s full of shrimp, cod, clams, and scallops that are swimming in a light, brothy soup infused with rich Moroccan spices.
And don’t worry, there are plenty of veggies in here too! Squash and zucchini add a nice pop of earthiness.
6. Moroccan Vegetable Soup
Are we tired of the same old vegetable soup every winter? Let’s jazz up those veggies with some bright Moroccan spices.
This soup includes all your classic veggies, like carrots, spinach, celery, potatoes, and chickpeas.
But it’s also full of spices like cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, lemon, and red pepper flakes. It is just delicious!
7. Moroccan Harissa Cauliflower Soup
If you love coming home to a delicious soup made by your handy dandy Crockpot, you are in the right place. What I love most about this vegetarian soup is that it’s low on ingredients and so, so easy.
It features fresh cauliflower with tasty additions like almond, harissa, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and chili paste. Dump it into the Crockpot and come home to this fantastic soup.
8. Moroccan Fava Bean Soup (Bissara)
Fava beans are seriously underrated, but they are the star of the show in this soup. It’s decadently rich and creamy, with a nutty bite thanks to the blended fava beans and split peas.
Plus, it’s simple to whip together and only requires seven pantry staples. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
9. Spicy Moroccan Sweet Potato Soup
This soup has a little of everything! The sweet potatoes add a hearty bite and sweetness that pairs perfectly with the spicy kick of crushed red pepper flakes.
With hearty Moroccan seasonings like harissa paste, cinnamon, and cumin, this soup is insanely bright and flavorful.
Bonus points: it’s 100 percent vegan.
10. Moroccan Lentil Quinoa Soup
This fantastic soup is the ultimate healthy dinner that doesn’t taste like healthy food.
The hearty lentil and quinoa base delivers a punch of nutrition, and the spicy Moroccan seasoning takes this simple soup over the flavor edge.
Pair this with fresh ingredients like thinly-sliced radishes, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a slice of crusty bread.
11. Moroccan Spiced Parsnip Soup
Do not pass up this soup! Parsnips have a sweet, licorice-like flavor that makes this dish a must-try.
It combines sweet parsnips with savory Moroccan flavors like cumin, coconut milk, ras el hanout, and garlic.
Blend it into a creamy soup, and make sure to add toppings like apples, walnuts, and spices for extra flavor and texture.
If parsnips are in season, you have to try this.
12. Moroccan Stuffed Pepper Soup
Looking for something hearty and delicious? You only need one bowl of this soup to keep you from snacking.
It’s a classic stuffed pepper soup with ground beef, bell pepper, and white rice, but this time around, it has a punch of Moroccan spices.
It has fire-roasted tomatoes, passata, ras el hanout, and a dash of honey. It is hearty, smoky, and a little sweet. So tasty!
13. Moroccan Carrot Soup
This soup is anything but boring. It brings a sweet flavor, plus, it’s super affordable. The carrots pair perfectly with savory spices like thyme, cloves, ghee, ground sumac, and sesame seeds.
It also includes cannellini beans for a hearty protein kick.
14. Moroccan Spiced Turkey Soup
Step aside, chicken noodle. This soup checks all the boxes.
It’s heart-healthy thanks to using turkey instead of red meat, and it includes a ton of veggies.
The ingredient list is long, but most of the spices used are likely in your pantry right now.
15. Moroccan Meatball Couscous Soup
This recipe is like Italian wedding soup, Moroccan-style. Bright flavors are hiding in every square inch of this soup.
The meatballs utilize savory Moroccan spices like coriander, thyme, chili powder, and cinnamon.
On their own, the mini meatballs are pretty addictive, but adding them to a light chicken broth with tender couscous and mint is like heaven.
16. Moroccan Semolina Soup
In Morocco, this is a classic breakfast porridge. With a punch of carbs, it’s a great way to get your morning started on a hearty, flavorful note. But it makes a great dinner dish, too!
The semolina creates a thick base with bold Moroccan spices like turmeric, garlic, and cilantro. You are going to love it!
17. Moroccan Pumpkin Tomato Soup
If you want a great tomato soup for your grilled cheese sandwiches, this is a great choice! Pairing pumpkins and tomatoes seems strange, but they work together to create a creamy and savory soup.
To take those flavors over the top, garnish it with crumbled goat cheese for a pop of tang.
