MOROCCAN SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA SOUP



Moroccan Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup image

An easy, velvety soup with complex delicious spice tastes, would make a wonderful start to a dinner party or a great lunch. Got this off the web ages ago and can't remember the name of the site. May need more lemon juice if the potatoes and carrots are really sweet so taste at the end, and I used more spices as I like a deeper flavour.
