Chorba-Shorba (Algerian Chickpea and Chicken Soup)

This soup called Chorba or Shorba, has wonderful flavor and could be served as a light lunch by itself or as a starter to an Algerian feast. It showcases the many flavors of the area using the spice ras el hanout ( a typical north African spice mix) along with preserved lemons, and cilantro. Make plenty as it freezes beautifully!
