Moroccan Style Chickpea Soup
i got this from the february 2005 issue of bbc good food and adjusted slightly for our tastes. i'm not sure how authentically moroccan it is (when we were there we didn't come across any soups like this) but it definitely has those north-african flavours and best of all it is super healthy for you. if you don't have harissa you can use your favourite hot sauce or chili pepper.
