Freekeh and Chicken Soup

Algerian origin soup. We have this soup almost every night during Ramadan to break our fasting, so technically it’s breakfast. Any other month of the year we eat it for lunch or dinner. Freekeh is young wheat that is green and specially processed by sun drying and burning the husks, which gives it a smoky flavor.
