Zander loved this soup. He ate it for lunch every day all week and would cry when the bowl was empty. Pete and I both also loved this soup. It was very earthy and filling. We ate it as the starter, but it was heavy enough to be a good meal in and of itself. If you feel like being a carnivore, maybe add some lamb stew meat to this.
I will definitely make this again because Zander loved it so.
I added some harissa to mine, but didn't want the baby to have something too spicy. Harissa is a typical North African hot sauce. I bought mine because I'm a slacker, but you could make your own if you wanted.
