Ramadan soups

Breaking Ramadan fasting with soups is a great. They make for a light meal that will not overwhelm you after many hours of fasting. Rather, they gently warm you from the inside out.

The fact that they are served hot also makes eating them too fast difficult. This allows you to ease slowly into eating again as you break your fast which gives you time to truly enjoy and appreciate the sunset meal. Often, you will drink the soup, allowing yourself to truly feel the warmth all the way down your stomach as you drink. And soups also make for a lovely as well as practical addition to your suhoor table.

The most classic soup for Ramadan is lentil soup. The dish is traditionally served during Holy Month to break the fast at iftar meals. This light soup is simply incredibly tasty.

One of the greatest things about Ramadan soups is that they can be made with a wealth of different ingredients that will give them delicious flavour profiles and vibrant colours. As such, if you have a favourite vegetable, odds are you can turn it into a beautiful, smooth soup.

Great soup ideas for Ramadan include making sweet-tasting ones with carrot, onion, and tomato or a slightly bitter one with spinach. Soups with mild asparagus and broccoli or umami-packed mushrooms are equally delicious. So too are earthy soups with pumpkin and root vegetables. Of course, potato soup is a creamy classic that should never be discounted.
