  1. This is a very traditional arabic soup. My sister in law uses this same recipe. I think it's an absolute treat. It's a very thick & hearty soup that's good as a light meal or as a starter. It's fast, easy & very tasty!!

I am a twenty-something attorney, who loves to cook for relaxation after work. Since marrying my husband (who also loves to cook), I have become much more adventurous in the kitchen, but I leave the really difficult recipes, like Beef Wellington, to him.
