In this refreshing recipe, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions are blended to create a cool and vibrant base. The magic happens when Ras el Hanout, a fragrant blend of North African spices, is introduced, infusing the soup with a subtle complexity that includes notes of cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and more.
