Spicy Veggie Couscous Soup



Prep Time: 15 Min

​Cook Time: 25 - 30 Min

 

1. Begin heating the oil and butter in a medium sized pot set to medium. Once melted and bubbly, add the garlic and pepperoncini macinati. Stir and simmer away for 1 minute before adding the celery, onion, bell pepper, leek, dried herbs, garlic powder, carrot and a good pinch of sea salt & cracked pepper. Stir and continue cooking 5 – 6 minutes.

 

1. Stir in the broccoli and cauliflower along with another good pinch of sea salt. Continue cooking 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, bouillon cubes, and water. Set to medium high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiled, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer 15 – 20 minutes until veggies are tender.

 

1. Stir in the fresh spinach and couscous, taste, and adjust salt if desired. Leave 5 minutes on the heat before serving. You can either stir in the fresh parsley at this point or use it as a garnish for each bowl. ENJOY!
