Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add stock, harissa, and lemon juice and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.

This soup was delicious! The broth was flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I also loved the addition of the chard, which added a nice bitterness to the soup. I will definitely be making this soup again!

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I think next time I'll use less harissa or maybe even omit it altogether.
