Msoki (Hebrew: מסוקי) is a Jewish soup traditional to Algerian and Tunisian Jews, and is most often eaten during feasts and in most, during the celebration of Passover.[1] [2]

The soup contains, as is customary in some Tunisian communities, a selection of seasonal vegetables, lamb and matzah. It is common to say that the ingredients of the dish, lamb, matzah and vegetables, are against "Pesach, matzah and maror".
