Ingredients needed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prepare this soup, here are some notes on the ingredients used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Onion:<\/strong> I typically use a combination of red and regular onions, but you have the flexibility to use either all red onions or all regular onions, depending on your preference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Garlic:<\/strong> fresh garlic minced, but lazy or jarred mince garlic is fine also<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Bell Peppers: <\/strong>I use a mix of red and orange peppers, but any combination is fine. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Courgette (Zucchini)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Herbes De Provence:<\/strong> Herbes De Provence is a classic herb blend that typically includes herbs like thyme, rosemary, marjoram, savory, oregano, and lavender. It's renowned for its versatile use in enhancing the flavour of various dishes, ranging from roasted vegetables to meats and soups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Tomatoes:<\/strong> I opt for a can of chopped tomatoes, which I find convenient and recommend choosing a good quality brand. However, if you prefer, you can use fresh cherry or baby Roma tomatoes as an alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Olive oil <\/strong>- extra virgin olive oil, imparts depth and flavor to the roasted vegetables. I do not recommend substituting it with a low-calorie spray because you won't achieve the same caramelization and softening of the vegetables during roasting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Stock:<\/strong> For the stock, chicken or vegetable varieties complement the other ingredients best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Israeli Couscous <\/strong>- also known as pearl couscous or giant couscous, should not be confused with regular couscous. It consists of small toasted pasta balls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Low Calorie Spray<\/strong> - this is only used for the toasting of the couscous part to the recipe. Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
