Traditional soups in Algerian cuisine are most often thick and rich, with the consistency of a stew. Meat stews are served in deep soup dishes and can be served with wheat bread as well as clear light soups. Chickpeas are a very common ingredient to an Algerian soup, as well as orzo, which are small soup pasta noodles served in chicken noodle soup.

Delicious Algerian soups include:
 * dried mushrooms and wild rice soup- prepared with yellow rice and coriander.
 * Algerian octopus soup- a very spicy stew consistency soup, prepared with fennel, pumpkin and chick peas, and served with flat bread.

When less water is being used, the soup becomes a shatitha (sauce that dances), and is typically served over pasta.

Some other soups in this cuisine include:
 * lentil
 * spicy vegetable
 * lamb meat

Beef is used in the green beans soup, and seafood and fish are prepared in stews mild or hot, and served with flat wheat bread or couscous.
