Couscous Soup

Today I experimented with a recipe I found 101 Cookbooks.com.  It was definitely different.  Here is the recipe:

7 cups vegetable broth

2-3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 cup couscous

1 1/2 cups broccoli florets

1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets

4 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

4 green onions

Ounce or two of goat cheese

Heat the broth, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.  When it boils, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the couscous.  In two minutes, stir in the broccoli and cauliflower.  Then after another two minutes ladle into bowls and top each bowl with sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, and a bit of goat cheese.

I forgot to buy goat cheese, so that wasn't in the mix.  However, I found that the sun dried tomatoes were a bit much.  Next time, I will chop them up smaller.  I also found it to be a bit bland, so I will definitely add some more spices next time.  I think next time I will also try to add green or red bell peppers.

Here is a picture of my bowl of soup:
