This light and simple take on a North African soup named Harira focuses on the garbanzo beans, lentils, and tomatoes. However, we’ve decided to complete the meal by topping our bowls with greek yogurt and celery leaves. While we’ve used beef broth for an earthy and meaty flavor boost, feel free to make this soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead. Either way, make sure you have pita on hand to soak up every last drop. For a sweeter take, try a light drizzle of honey over your bowl of soup.
