Couscous Soup with Zucchini

Preparation

1
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Cut the zucchini into small, bite-sized cubes.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the diced zucchini and canned diced tomatoes (undrained) to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth.
5
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
6
Stir in the couscous. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid and cook through.
7
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
