MOROCCAN LAMB, LENTIL, AND CHICKPEA SOUP



Moroccan Lamb, Lentil, and Chickpea Soup image

I made this for my make-ahead cooking group "The Make-Ahead Mamas'" holiday soup swap. The wonderful traditional Moroccan cinnamon-spice combination is lovely with the ground lamb and sweet potatoes, and the chopped apricots or cranberries add a surprising tart sweetness with every few bites. Whenever I make this recipe, I make a double (or triple!) batch and freeze a few portions.

HARIRA (CHICKPEA, LAMB AND CORIANDER SOUP)



Harira (Chickpea, Lamb and Coriander Soup) image

This is a wonderfully spiced and filling soup. Mmmmm, wish we had a winter around here... This is North African comfort food at it's best. Serve with toasted pita or Morrocan flat bread drizzled with a bit of good quality olive oil. If you're not crazy about cloves, like my DH, you can reduce to 1/4 tsp and adjust from there.
