Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add stock, harissa, and lemon juice and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.

  • 5. NOTE / TO MAKE IN ADVANCE: The soup can be made, without the egg noodles, up to 3 days in advance. To serve, bring the soup to a simmer, add the egg noodles and cook until noodles are soft (about 10 to 15 minutes), and serve.
