Harira soup is a popular traditional dish during Ramadan in Morocco and other North African countries. This hearty soup is typically served as the first course for breaking the fast (iftar) during Ramadan. It is believed that the soup helps to replenish the body's nutrients and energy after a day of fasting, and the warm and comforting flavors are a welcome treat after a long day of abstaining from food and drink. Additionally, the soup is easy to prepare in large batches, making it ideal for feeding large groups of people during Ramadan gatherings.
