Dining out has officially taken over my life like a Rookie immersing
herself into Fantasy Football culture (true story). Given my recent move to the city and now being steps, literally steps from some fine restaurants, it would be a sin of some sort in some religion if I didn’t give them a shot. From trying that one brunch place, coffee shop, sandwich place, bar over yonder, burger joint, restaurant with that one great special (mind you, more than once)— I realized that, I had gone too far with the whole “eating out” thing. It’s gotten to the point where, I don’t even have money to buy groceries to cook my own food! And that, my friends, is my inspiration for this soup.
Veggie Couscous Soup for the Young, Broke & Fabulous

- extra virgin olive oil
- minced garlic
- 1 carton of chicken broth
- 3/4 cup uncooked couscous
- organic cherry tomatoes (straight from our garden)
- 3/4 bag of Japanese style frozen vegetables
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- red pepper flakes
- dried parsley flakes
- Sriracha
Sautee garlic in olive oil. Add chicken broth, then couscous, then vegetables. Season with above seasonings in the beginning, middle and end of cooking time. Cover and cook, until it’s cooked. Duh!
Sorry folks. I probably do my best cooking when I “wing it”. Hence the horrible, horrible instructions above! But hey, you get the idea. My roommate, Gil, loved it. I mean really loved it! Gil don’t lie, so I must’ve done something right!



wow, it’s looks delicious
maybe next time I should try to make it
Let me know how it goes!
