Every time I hear the word couscous I can’t help but think of “How the Emperor Got His Groove Back”. My son use to adore that show and laugh hysterically but I digress. We’re talking about the 5th and final day* for our 8 Pounds, 5 Meals Project and Chicken Couscous Soup, also known as “how I get my children to eat couscous”.
Chicken Couscous Soup is easy. Even easier is putting it right into my Calphalon 7 Qt. Slow Cooker

In case you missed this week’s project:
Not So Spicy Chicken Vegetable Soup
*I know. I only shared 4 meals now but I need to find a “fix” for my favorite meal, the Southwestern Pulled Chicken. You see, my secret ingredient appears to have been discontinued. You could buy the last case of 6 for $231

Sounds delicious. I did a soup round-up a couple of weeks ago and really had trouble finding great recipes. This one sounds yummy!
Thank you. I will hunt down your round up. I love a good soup
Hello Heather! I didn’t see the nutrition facts for this recipe. Can you include them please? You know, “New Year, New You”. Trying to keep track of those calories!
Hi Deanna, Good luck with your calorie tracking! I did not include nutrition because the free nutrition calculators all are fairly inaccurate and they can also be dependent on individual nutrition labels. Your best bet is to put the ingredients into whichever recipe tracker you already use. I hope to be able to purchase a good quality nutrition calculator at some point here to make it super easy though.
