Chorba Frik is a hearty soup made with frik (cracked green wheat), lamb or beef, chickpeas, tomato, and onions, seasoned with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and ras el hanout. It’s especially popular in Algeria during the month of Ramadan, served to break the fast at iftar, but also enjoyed in colder months for its comforting warmth. Originating in Constantine and Algiers, the soup is gently simmered until the meat is tender and the frik thickens the broth naturally. Chorba Frik reflects the country’s deep culinary heritage, blending Berber traditions with Ottoman-era influences.

Common variations include the addition of celery, mint, or a squeeze of lemon before serving.
