Moroccan Chicken and Couscous Soup

Moroccan Chicken and Couscous Soup

A mainstay in Morocco, steamed couscous topped with a very liquid stew is undeniably delectable, but not exactly quick. We've found, though, that combining all the ingredients in a soup yields similarly sumptuous results in a much shorter time. The dish is decidedly spicy; if you prefer less heat, just reduce the amount of cayenne.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4), cut into approximately 1 1/2-by-1/4-inch strips

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

  • 1 sweet potato (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

  • 1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces

  • 3/4 cup tomato puree

  • 1 quart water

  • 2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock

  • 1/2 cup couscous

  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
