Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high.
- When the pot is hot, add beef, mirepoix and couscous to the dry pan. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until it begins to brown, 2 min.** Season with Zesty Garlic Blend and pepper.
- Add crushed tomatoes, stock powder, pesto, half the Parmesan and 3 cups (6 cups) water. (TIP: Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot — this will add extra flavour!). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 min, until couscous is tender and beef is cooked through.**
- Remove from heat, then stir in spinach. Season with pepper. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until spinach wilts.
- Divide soup between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to get beef, omit oil, then add beef, mirepoix and couscous to the dry pan. Cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the sausage.**
