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."

A lovely filling meal, made for ZWT 9 for the Tasty Testers. -
WOW! So easy and what a lot of flavor! I also added a diced carrot. The cilantro and a squeeze of lemon was the perfect topper. Very hearty soup. Made for ZWT 9. -
Delicious! This quick and easy soup is hearty and very flavorful. I love garam masala because it adds a subtle, yet complex flavor to dishes. It was excellent in this soup! I had leftover chicken when I made recipe#424382, so that is what I used instead of the rotisserie chicken. The cilantro as a garnish was a very nice addition. Thank you for sharing!
