Yes, it is soup weather. On a wet, windy and cold day like today there is nothing better than a bowl of soup with tasty bread. My veggie soups usually include beans or lentils but to mix things up this recipe includes Israeli Couscous. Made from wheat, Israeli Couscous, or Pearl Couscous are available in white or wholemeal and can be used in much the same way as rice or pasta.
