Chicken & Couscous Soup

A lot of people ask me where I get the inspiration for my recipes and I would say about half of them are me throwing together a meal from what’s in my fridge/pantry! That’s definitely how this Chicken & Couscous Soup for 2 was born. The perfect healthy dinner that is cozy and hearty too! Makes the perfect amount for 2, but feel free to double for leftovers!
