The inspiration for this inviting supper comes from combining hearty chicken soup with Middle Eastern couscous stew.

Potato Leek Soup (non-dairy)
Potatoes and Leeks are like Bert and Ernie. They’re fine on their own, but more fun when they’re together. The frigid New England weather got me craving a hearty soup to warm me up from the inside out. Of course, the day I go to the market for said cozy soup ingredients, it randomly hits…
