Moroccan bissara, the trendy soup of 2025

Originally from the Maghreb, particularly Morocco, bissara is the trendy soup of 2025. It owes its fame to its many virtues.

Bissara, also called “besara” or “bessara”, is very popular during this winter period. This thick soup made from beans (very rich in protein and full of potassium and magnesium) or split peas (vegetable proteins) is a healthy and nutritious meal with an authentic taste. “Bissara is a dish that goes back centuries, rooted in the culinary traditions of rural populations in the Maghreb. Economical and easy to prepare, it was part of the eating habits of the lower classes, making it possible to feed a family with simple and accessible ingredients” describes Progress.
