Moroccan Chickpea Soup image

Clipped from the AJC, this recipe is from Cafe Intermezzo in Dunwoody, GA. A hint of cinnamon and cumin gives this simple soup its exotic aroma. Instead of adding the spinach to the pot, Chef Todd Wilczewski likes to add it to each bowl and pour the hot soup over it, just to wilt it. Note: for a slightly thicker base and to help the flavors meld, puree about a third of the soup in a blender and then return it to the soup pot.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The flavors are complex and delicious, and the chickpeas are filling and satisfying. I served it with some crusty bread and a salad, and it was the perfect meal. I highly recommend this recipe!
