  2. Next add in grated ginger and grated turmeric. Saute for 30 seconds to let the spices cook a bit, then add in chicken broth, chicken breast, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
  3. Bring soup to a boil, then stir in couscous. You�ll want the chicken to be covered by the broth so make sure you stir them down to the bottom.

  5. Once chicken is cooked, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cutting board to shred with two forks.
  6. Add chicken back to pot then stir in frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Recipe Notes
  • To make vegetarian or vegan: Use vegetarian broth and sub 1 can of chickpeas for chicken.
  • To make the soup gluten free: You could use a gluten free couscous if you can find it, or try quinoa! The cook time will remain the same.
