Moroccan Vegetable Soup

It was cold today. The wind chill hovered in the single digits and low teens most of the day. Bundled up in my blanket coat, I braved the bone chilling cold and went to Taim Mobile since they were down the block from my office today. It's rough for customers at the trucks but I also think about how difficult it must be for the vendors, out all day and with lower foot traffic, so I'm trying to do my part to help. (I'm a poor judge of foot traffic though, considering I eat lunch at 2 half the time...)

In addition to my falafel sandwich, I decided to try the Moroccan vegetable soup ($4). I was trying to decide between soup and fries, but (a) soup is healthier than fries (especially since it's a vegetable-based non-creamy soup) and (b) this was definitely soup weather.

The soup was pretty good. It's a clear tasty broth, and the vegetables included carrots, chickpeas, some squash (I think). It reminded me of the couscous that I order from Marrakesh (hmm, haven't ordered from there in a bit) which would come with the same soft vegetables on top. The flavor and texture were almost exactly the same.

I would definitely get this again if Taim's nearby and I'm in the mood for soup. Although the fries are certainly tempting...
