Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Add the couscous to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. This step enhances the nutty flavor of the couscous.

03

Step
2 mins

Pour in the vegetable broth (or water), then add the diced zucchini, potato, green beans, carrots, and tomato paste. Stir in the ground coriander, red pepper flakes (or chili powder), cumin, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.

04

Step
20 mins

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Check the seasoning and adjust salt as needed.

05

Step
2 mins

Stir in the milk (or cream) and heat through gently. Do not boil after adding the milk. Serve hot and enjoy!

For a heartier soup, add a can of chickpeas or some cooked lentils along with the vegetables.
Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of freshness and color.
For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk) instead of dairy milk.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.

    I added a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a bit of brightness, and it was perfect.
