Description

The recipe won't take much time. Try making chicken soup with couscous using this recipe. It's a great alternative to the usual soup with pasta, rice, or other grains. The dish turns out light, vibrant, and thanks to the couscous, quite nutritious. Since couscous doesn't require cooking, it's added at the very end. If you prepare the broth in advance, this soup can be made very quickly.

Instructions
