Curried Couscous and Spinach Soup

2/3/2014

 
Curried Couscous and Spinach Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 medium jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded & minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
10 ounces fresh spinach, stemmed, washed, 
              shaken to remove excess water, and roughly chopped
1 14.5 –ounce can diced tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth
Salt
2/3 cup whole wheat couscous
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chile, and curry powder and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in damp spinach, cover, and cook, stirring once, until wilted, about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, broth, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer to blend flavors, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in couscous, remove pan from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro, adjust seasonings, and serve.

This is a hearty Indian-inspired soup that is best for a cool spring night.  It’s a perfect way to use fresh, spring spinach.  It’s a thick textured soup with bold flavors from the curry, jalapeno, garlic, onion and cilantro.
