#nonindian - This is an incredibly simple, comforting and a wholesome soup - Moroccan style, that can be dished out for a light hearty meal. It is very filling and you just don't need anything else. Well, you may pair it with some croutons or breadsticks. Rice may be substituted by couscous if you wish. Chicken too can be replaced with boneless mutton beef or pork if preferred. This piping hot soup is just perfect for a wintry night.
