Sweet Moroccan Bean Soup

It makes sense that January is National Soup Month.  A warm, homemade soup certainly can hit the spot on these short, often cold and dreary days.  This recipe was inspired by Food and Wine Magazine's Harissa White Bean Stew recipe.  Our soup features sweet bell peppers in place of the hotter spicy ones.  Both beans are locally grown.
