Moroccan Couscous Soup - {Harira Couscous}

This buttery and aromatic mideastern soup is both beautiful and palate-stimulating as a first course to plain, solid fare as well as to a Moroccan meal. It's especially terrific on those occasions when unexpected guests arrive for dinner. Why? Because the couscous continues to expand in everyone's stomach, leaving a feeling of fullness and repletion. And it's lightening fast to make.
