Cooking steps
1
  • In a small pot, bring couscous, one stock concentrate, and ¾ cup water to a boil (use two stock concentrates and 1½ cups water for 4 servings). (You’ll use the remaining stock concentrates later.)

  • Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

2
  • While couscous cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces.

Ingredient Quantities
  • Carrot

    6 ounce

3
  • Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots and sausage; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Add tomato paste to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste darkens in color, 1-2 minutes.

  • Add marinara, remaining stock concentrates, and 1¾ cups water (3¼ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until carrots are tender and soup has thickened slightly, 6-8 minutes more.
