Couscous Tomato Chicken Soup


What did you make?
I made a soup base from the rotisserie chicken carcass. Then I sauteed garlic, onions, corn, and kidney beans. After letting the chicken simmer, I added the sauteed vegetables along with the canned tomatoes. I also added couscous to thicken the soup. To turn this into a Mexican chicken soup, you can add crushed tortilla chips instead of couscous.

How long did it take?
This takes around 45 minutes because you want to let the soup simmer. The preparation can be simultaneous because the stock can be simmering as the rest of the ingredients are being prepared.
How did it taste?
I would rate this a 7.5. I usually use tortilla chips which help season this soup. This time something was a little off because of the seasoning.
