Moroccan Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup 2/6

We weren't sure we really wanted to cook on Monday when we got home, but we mustered up the drive and threw together this soup!  The Moroccan Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup Recipe is yet another Cooking Light Recipe and it was Excellent!!

I followed the majority of the recipe, except after adding the tomato paste it wasnt as vibrant as I wanted, so I added a can of V8 juice. And most of my basil had gone bad, so I only had 4-5 leaves, so I supplemented it with a 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro.  The cilantro and orange zest really made this dish, but all of the flavors blended so well and just made every bite an experience!!  (It was so good/I was so hungry I burned my tongue on it!!)

Verdict? Definitely going to make this one again!! Incredibly flavorful and filling, and I loved the texture the couscous gave to the soup itself! YUM!
