The 10 Minute Couscous Soup is definitely a favorite of mine (as it is quick, really tasty and requires very few ingredients), so I decided to make a batch with some of the ingredients that arrived in our first CSA shipment.
Ingredients:
- 5 cups of water
- 2 cups cauliflower florets, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup of whole wheat couscous
- 1/2 cup of finely sliced Leeks
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cube of Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon with Sea Salt
- 3 pinches of crushed red pepper flakes
- grated romano and/or parmesan cheese
- juice of 1/4 of a lemon
I started by sauteing the crushed red pepper, butter, olive oil and leeks in the pot. Once the leeks were soft I added the bouillon and water. Once the water had come to a boil I turned off the heat, added the couscous and half of the cilantro. After about 2 minutes, I added the cauliflower with the rest of the cilantro and lemon juice. I let this sit another 2 minutes or so, and the served it with a pinch of the grated cheese on top
The leeks and butter added a little bit richer flavor which was really good on a raining night.
