Assalaamu alaikum,

I am posting in response to UmTareks question about shorba, insha'Allah this is the soup you mean.

>I am an american married to an algerian. I am looking for >something my husband calls harrira. It is not the same as >the harrira I find in the moraccan cook books though. I >have made that version and he likes it, but the one I am >looking for is like a puree shorba. It has some veggies >and it is orange and it has ras al hanout and it has >bulgar put in it at the end after the veggies are pureed.

I use:

1 onion
1 carrot
1 small/medium courgette (zucchini)
1/3 of a red pepper
4 fresh tomatoes or 1 tin plum tomatoes
2 - 3 tbsp tomato puree (concentrate)
meat on the bone
salt and pepper
ras al hanout
1 1/2 litres boiled water

Chuck everything into a pressure cooker whole, no need to chop anything, just peel and sling it in. Pressure cook until meat is tender. Remove meat and put to side. Puree the liquid and vegetables. Return meat to soup. Add more water if necessary. Add 1/2 cup of burghul wheat, 1/2 tin chick peas, 1 tbsp chopped mint, 1tbsp chopped fresh coriander. Simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Maybe this is something like the recipe you are looking for....

Wassalaam, Umm Maryam
