Tharida (also referred to as tharidat Ghassan)[1] is a soup in Arab cuisine prepared with broth, stewed meat and bread crumbs that are crumbled using one's fingers;[a] the bread crumbs serve to thicken the soup.[3][4][5] It was sometimes prepared using brains for the meat.[1] Additional ingredients that can be used include beans, crushed or pounded walnuts, yogurt, mint and spices.[6][7] It may have a milky appearance.[8] Hundreds of variations and recipes exist for the dish.[9]
