Red Lentil, Zucchini & Couscous Soup

This is a good soup. It is probably supposed to be very mild, but we found it a little plain and lacking in flavor. This is with using the broth and adding 2 cloves of garlic, lemon juice and fresh parsley. I also used whole wheat couscous and less salt. DH could not tell there was couscous in this (even when I told him there was). Fed 4-6 people.

What a lovely soup! It was so tasty I actually said Wow! after I tried it. I did make a couple modifications. I didn't have zucchini, so I added extra celery. Also I was worried there wasn't going to be enough flavor so I added 2 garlic cloves (to the recipe halved). The garlic probably wasn't necessary, but was really good in this. I also used beef broth instead of vegetable. I, like Annisette don't usually like celery, but even with the extra, since I diced it all really small and cooked it down with the onions, it was just in the background and added to the flavor.

This was terrific soup! Very delicious!! Used the vegetable broth option instead of the water and fresh fennel instead of celery (only because I don't care much for celery). Made for the ZWT4 CAFE ZMAAK Gypsies team!
