Soup ala recipe

So I made some delicious soup last night for our friends fasting for Ramadan. It was so involved... Lol I thought omg do people really make this with this many ingredients and steps?!   Anyway it was well worth it because the end result was delicious! Here's the address for the recipe.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5FGXkegirU

End result was amazingly flavorful I almost couldn't stop to eat anything else. 

That was just the soup! Lol.  We also had other dishes, a meatball ala Arab style. It was made with peppers, onions, and tomatoes over kefta (spiced) ground beef rolled into balls; shrimp with peppers and cumin garlic butter sauce; baked chicken and peppers w potatoes and tomatoes; salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, and cranberries with an olive oil, lemon and mint dressing; babaganoosh (eggplant dip with cilantro and parsley, sesame seed paste and crushed pecans); fava beans w garlic, avocado, olive oil and lemon juice; side plate of Moroccan black and pimento stuffed green olives with jalapeño cheese.  I also made peppered rice to put under the different dishes.  It was a feast lol.  :) had a great time with friends and stayed up fairly late.
