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.

This Harira soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
