Moroccan Tomato Soup with Couscous - 4 stars



first, let me say that i can't believe i didn't publish a single post in all of march. wow! i cooked & ate plenty in march, and now have a month's worth of catching up to do.

this soup is from my new year's resolution cookbook, Made in Morocco. it was a simple, quick recipe, with few ingredients. i used high quality canned tomatoes in it because fresh tomatoes are so flavorless right now. it tasted great, but i let it simmer too long after adding the couscous - the couscous swelled and lost its crunch. the flavor was still great though.

i had grilled cheese & onion sandwiches AND a salad with the soup - yummy, but way too much food. :)

(i'll add the recipe later - it's in a cookbook at home)

This post feels unloved. I liked the soup- it tasted simple and exotic. 4*

I miss the moroccan recipes.

LOL! i just saw your comment. the post probably feels unloved because it was written weeks after i made the soup. i just didn't remember a lot about it.

i *may* spend some time doing moroccan cooking this weekend, if the budget allows and the energy is there. there is an eggplant dish i want to try, and i also want to make harissa. :-)
