Tunisian Lamb Soup

Steps

1. In a casserole, cook lamb mince over high heat until browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Retain 1 tablespoon of fat in the casserole and discard the rest. Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic, onion, and spinach. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the spinach is wilted.
3. Return the lamb to the casserole along with the onion-spinach mixture. Stir in tomato puree, cumin, harissa spice, chicken stock, chickpeas, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Add macaroni and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
