Moroccan Lentil and Chickpea Soup (Crockpot Recipe)

This is delicious, different, quick and easy, as well as nutritious and inexpensive. You’ll need to get some Harissa for this (shown below) which is a really nice spice to add to your collection. This is a flavor explosion. It is pretty spicy, without being hot the way cayenne is. Give this a try if you want something out of the ordinary, but don’t have much time. It serves 6-8 and freezes well too.
