Saute Peppers and Garlic in a Stock Pan. Wait until hot and add spinach. Bring to a boil and add spices, couscous and broccoli. Reduce heat and let sit for about 5 minutes. Turn off heat, and let sit for another 10-15 for the flavors to come together. Top with Parmesan Cheese and more S/P. Enjoy!
*** If you add to much couscous, you end up with a large pot of just couscous, which is also good, but unfortunate if you're going for soup. It will sneak up on you. I added 1 C / 6.5 Cups water, and ended up with a VERY thick soup. Next time I'd definitely add less. Also the soup didn't have as much flavor as I'd have liked. I didn't add the rosemary, and will definitely do that next time, as well as some celery (blech) for flavor. Anybody have any other suggestions?30This soup is named because it looks like a Christmas Tree in your pot. You've got the broccoli as the tree, and the peppers and garlic and coucouscoucous as ornaments. If you're really wanting to get into the holiday spirit, then add some star shaped noodles. I'd give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars.2 cloves garlic1/2 Red Bell Pepper chopped small1/2 yellow Bell Pepper chopped small1/4 Block Frozen Spinach10-12 Broccoli FlorettesFlorettes1/2 Cup -1 Cup Couscous (depending on how chunky you like your soup)5-6 Cups Water2-3 Chicken Boullion Cubes Salt to taste ( I needed A LOT)White and Black Pepper- to taste2 tsp Lemon Juice1/4 tsp Rosemary
