Here is a roundup of my favorite, warm, fragrant soups to make in the fall. Lebanese soups are full of flavor and nutrition, and they’re simple to make!
Lebanese-Style Chili
Lebanese-style chili gets its fabulous flavor from 7 Spice blend (find it here) together with chili powder. Our favorite legume–chickpeas!–is front and center. Finish with a dollop of labneh and a shower of fresh mint. Serve with good pita chips.
Lebanese Koosa Soup with Meatballs
We love our stuffed koosa squash cooked in tomato broth–consider this Koosa Soup with Meatballs an easier, faster way to all of those flavors we love in a beautiful, warming bowl of soup. If reheating the soup from the refrigerator, add water to loosen the broth, and more salt if needed.
Moghrabieh, Lebanese Chicken Couscous Soup
Moghrabieh is the beloved Lebanese chicken stew, full of aromatic spices and large couscous pearls by that same name, moghrabieh.
Easy Lebanese Red Lentil Soup
This vegetarian and vegan soup is tops on the healthy-delicious list for including grains, legumes, herbs and olive oil. The recipe originates with The Washington Post. Serve the soup as a main course with a salad and some bread. It's also great as a starter or a sustaining lunch mid-day.
Lebanese Green Bean Stew
Known as Lebanese yahneh or lubieh, this stew is even better the next day, so it's a perfect make-ahead recipe. We love to roast the chuck roast ahead and use the roasted meat for the stew, or use leftover roast to make this.
Garlicky Lebanese Lentil Soup with Swiss Chard and Lemon; dressed up Rushta
Hearty, and deeply flavorful! I’ve taken this traditional Lebanese lentil soup and given it even more to love by adding chard and lots of lemon and garlic.
Lebanese Vegetable Soup with Chickpeas and Kale
This vegetable soup with chickpeas and kale is hearty with sweet butternut squash, tomatoes, and a hit of cayenne. So warming, healthy, and simple to make–which we do, weekly! Vegan and gluten-free. One frigid, snowy day last winter when Dan was down and out with a cold, his sister Trisha brought over a big tunjura
Fragrant Lebanese Chicken Soup Recipe
Ohhh the fragrance and flavor in this chicken soup will quickly become a favorite.
Lebanese Kishk Soup with Garlic
Kishk is dried yogurt that is made into a warming soup throughout the Middle East. My version is loaded with fresh garlic.
