Devilsnew's Moroccan Harira

This is a very traditional recipe for Moroccan Harira Soup, adapted to my American pantry. I am dubbing the Harira...Moroccan chili, because of its great popularity and ubiquity, with most everyone in Morocco having their own "secret recipe". It is a very hearty and exotic, chili-like, chicken soup. Very delicious, satisfying, and easy to make on a cold night. (vermicelli noodles can optionally be added.). Don't be fooled by the cinnamon and ginger, they work, entirely.
