Moroccan Sour Cream Soup with Cumin

4 servings

30 minutes

Creamy cumin soup Moroccan style is a delicate, warming dish rooted in North African culinary traditions. Its velvety texture comes from sour cream and flour, while aromatic cumin adds exotic notes typical of Moroccan cuisine. Lemon gives a light tanginess that refreshes the flavor, and crunchy croutons complete the composition with a pleasant contrast. This soup is perfect for a light lunch or a cozy dinner on a cool day. In Morocco, such dishes are often prepared in winter when something nourishing and warming is desired. It is easily digestible and pairs wonderfully with bread or flatbreads, making the meal truly cozy.
