Soup Sunday! Fabulous Veggie Couscous Soup: Amazing in Clay!

Soup recipes are suitable for ALL VitaClay models!

As we head into the home stretch of the cold winter weather (and spring forward to longer, brighter, sunnier days!) we are looking forward to warmer weather, trips to the beach, and cold food (ice cream!)

But, alas, it’s still chilly outside, and we still crave something warm and satisfying on the wet, cold days that we must endure until the final thaw. So, with the finish line just barely in sight, we shall endure with soup. And I dub today: Soup Sunday. Because sometimes we just need another holiday. Let’s kick off the first Soup Sunday with a super delicious vegetarian soup that is sure to please the whole family! Make a huge pot and sip on it all week long!

Ingredients:

• 2 c uncooked pearl couscous
• 1-2 lb protein of choice (meat optional)
• 2 c soaked and cooked beans of your choice (a mix of different types of beans is also great)
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2-4 tomatoes (depending on size), chopped
• 1 c red sauce
• 4 c broth
• 1 t dried or fresh oregano
• 1 t real salt
• ¼ t ground pepper
• 1 t turmeric (because I add it to everything)
• 1 t no-salt spice blend of choice (optional)

1. Add all ingredients into the VitaClay cooker
2. Cover, seal and cook on “soup” or "slow" setting for 2 hours
3. Serve with a side of warm sourdough bread and butter
