Moroccan Chicken Soup

this is from america's test kitchen, "the best simple recipes". the contrast of textures in this is great. it's important that you use garam masala that is fresh and flavorful (or use fresh spices in any of the recipes here on zaar to make it from scratch). use zucchini that are less than 8 inches for best results.
