Chickpea & Lentil Harissa Soup
This soup draws its inspiration from the rich cuisines of North Africa. The chickpeas and lentils make this dish protein-packed and hearty, while an array of spices, harissa, and zesty lemon juice create a harmonious balance of heat and brightness.Servings

this is my first time having it and I am SO impressed. it feels like christmas in such a strange way with how comforting and warm it is. also, SO cheap!!! probably like $1 max a serving if I had to guess
It is one of my favourites and I made it many times before. But today I forgot to buy the harissa paste! With a quick online search I figured out how to make your own and it was excellent. By the time of serving I also had no fresh coriander left, but mint worked really well.
Incredibly delicious, the broth is so tasty! I am a big fan of brothy soups (instead of ones that are very creamy) so this one really hit the spot. I used 75% of the recommended lentil amount to make sure it would be brothy enough for me and it turned out just right.
The harissa and cinnamon combo is sooo good.
Thanks for the delicious recipe dear Pick up limes ❤️
I’m eating it as I type. Very tasty, and as someone described it, zesty. I think the vegan sour cream would be a good cooling element. But I am really enjoying it as it.
Added some vegan sour creme to balance the overall zestiness. Loved it!
So easy. I love recipes like this, that are so nutritious, flavourful, and easy on the grocery bill. Thank you.
This soup is amazing! I added 3 cloves of minced garlic toward the end of sautéing the celery/carrot/onion as well as a tablespoon of minced sun-dried tomatoes when adding the spices. I also added nearly two additional cups of water to make it more broth. I think the veggies I used were a bit large though! Wonderful recipe!
Superb!!
So delicious and packed with flavours! I enjoyed making this soup, it's easy to make. Thanx PUL team ❤️
Lovely
This was simple and so good, I also love that I can freeze it. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
Made it 2-3 times loved it
You are amazing!!! Every recipe is spot on. I’ve become so much more creative as a cook, thank you so much ❤️
So flavorful and cozy, perfect for winter! Next time I make this, I think I’ll blend half of it to make it more thick and have less “chunks”
So easy to make and so flavoursome. The mix of spices is perfect. I don't like chilli heat so I didn't add any harissa but it still worked. Delicious.
This app makes it all sooooooo easy to make such delicious dishes. This recipe came out amazing and was a hit
Loved this one!
Very filling and flavorful
Love this!!! Perfect for cold weather, warms body and soul
It was delicious! I didn’t have harissa but had a bit of vindaloo paste, so I used that instead 😊
Just made this soup.....delicious.....will definitely make again.
Nice recipe. Added 65 grams of frozen spinach per person. Put half of the soup in the blender to make it more homogeneous. Also added a small naan bread to dip in the soup.
Flavour was great and very easy to make!
Fell in love with the harissa sauce from another recipe of yours, so I had to try it with legumes too and I actually liked it even better this time! I am definitely going to be making this one again!
Super, delicious 🥰 So good and flavour ❤️🥬 10/10
Amazing! Delicious! I put two fresh baked herbed biscuits at the bottom the bowl and the soup (which is a lot like a stew) over it.
It funny your soup reminded me of my wife’s harira. The recipe is very similar. We use fresh grated ginger 1 tbs., tomato paste instead of harissa, a small amount of orzo or rice, I was surprised that there was no garlic in this recipe we use 2 to 5 cloves depending on the season. The sequence is different. We bloom the spices before putting the cilantro in and sometimes we split it with parsley and coriander. This all goes in and is cooked for a minute or 2 before adding the lentils and broth. The other variation is the tomato fresh is best but if not add celery leaves with rib and tomatoes to blender and liquify. This is added after lentils are cooked about the same time the canned chickpeas are added. The last thing is mix 1 tbs. of flour in water. Stir it into the broth. It is a thickener but it adds a silkiness to the soup. Other variations up to 1 lbs. of fresh tomatoes and saffron if you have some and she would use ghee sometimes. Otherwise the quantities were the same. Here again my granddaughter says yummy. Which for this nutritious recipe it’s a winner. Thank you.
This was delicious 😋 I added cooked penne to stretch the dish since I have so much pasta in my pantry. Next time I'll cut the 🥕 into a bit bigger pieces and I'll add a touch more harissa to have it more spicy 🔥
Love it! Perfect dinner with family recipe.
Simply delicious. I was scared how spicy it was right after cooking, but after one day .. just amazing. Depends also what kind of Harissa you use.
Hearty and healthy and to cook. Needed 40 minute simmer time for lentils
My first excursion into cooking and my first vegan meal. We didn’t have and we couldn’t find harissa so we substituted Sriracha. Amazingly tasty. 
I think this is my new favourite soup/ stew🤗
This soup is sooo flavourful and comforting! Perfect to enjoy under a blanket 😊
Very good!
Wow, my two male friends devoured this and I kept going for more! This dish is so rich, flavourful and easy to make, it'll be a winner for a mid-week dish! Thank you so much for this one, I really can't praise this dish enough!
I followed the recipe and really enjoy the soup itself! I prefer my food very flavorful and packing a punch, so I would personally just add more harissa for a bit of an oomph. This will definitely be a soup that I make a freeze for future dinners when I don’t feel like cooking!
