Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 3 large carrots peeled and cut into rounds
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2-3 fresh sage leaves or ½ teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 prigs fresh Rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more as needed
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups low sodium turkey chicken or veggie broth
- 1 cup pearl couscous
- 4 cups shredded turkey or chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup fresh curly parsley leaves finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm. Add the onion, carrots and celery to Dutch oven and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add bay leaf, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the veggies in the spices.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add couscous then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the couscous is cooked, but not mushy.
- Add shredded turkey, frozen peas, parsley and lemon juice.
- Cook 3-5 more minutes until peas are tender.
- Remove bay leaves, season to taste and add more liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Pour soup into bowls and serve with crackers or bread, if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Let the soup cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For freezing, leave out the couscous to avoid mushiness, then freeze in containers for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding extra broth if needed.
