Israeli CousCous and Chicken Curry Soup

 I was given a great cookbook for Christmas called 365 Days of Soup. It has great recipes for each day of the year based on the produce in season. I saw a recipe for Israeli couscous (bigger than normal couscous) with chicken and decided to try it with some twists. This soup is aromatic, easy, and tastes great. Serves 4

Ingredients
1 cup Israeli couscous
5 cups chicken broth
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cooked chicken breasts*, chopped
*from a rotisserie chicken or you can cook it yourself
2 cups baby spinach with stems removed
1 tsp tumeric powder, 1 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp cumin


In a pot, bring 1 1/4 cup water to a boil
Add 1 cup Israeli couscous and bring back to a boil
Once boiling, put heat to simmer and cover for 8-10 minutes
Until water is absorbed

Meanwhile, in a large pot heat oil on medium
Add onions and garlic, cooking for 5 minutes
Add spices and stir for 2 minutes
Pour in broth and bring to a boil
Add chicken and couscous
Simmer for 10 minutes then add spinach

Eat up!
