Tunisian Soup With Chard and Egg Noodles image

I found this at epicurious who got it from gourmet. The North African hot sauce called harissa lends this soup its beautiful brick-red color, as well as a deep, spicy warmth that isn't the least bit aggressive. For a supper that's both robust and rejuvenating, chard, chickpeas, and noodles go into the pot, too.
