This easy soup recipe is quick—it is ready in 20 minutes—making it a great make-ahead meal option for lunch or a quick weeknight dinner. Harissa paste is common in North African dishes. It’s a paste made from hot chili peppers, spices, and herbs, and it helps give this soup its oomph. This soup gets some texture from pureeing part of the soup mixture before the turkey and remaining chickpeas are added in for texture. You can use diced chicken in place of the turkey, if you like. Sprinkle it with fresh mint or cilantro leaves for added color and flavor.
