How was your Valentine’s Day?! Are you still in a chocolate coma like I am? I kind of overdid it. But are you really surprised???
Now that we’ve all had our fix of chocolate treats, I wanted to share something comforting today, but in a savory way. And since it’s still too cold for my blood, I thought a soup would be the perfect thing!

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium sweet onion sliced
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 10 cups chicken broth
• 1 medium lemon zested
• 2 rotisserie chicken breasts shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Israeli couscous dry
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/3 cup chives chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add olive oil to a large Dutch oven and place over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
2. Add chicken broth, lemon zest, shredded chicken, and red pepper flakes to pot and stir to combine. Raise the heat to medium high and let it come to a boil. Once boiling, cover pot and lower to a simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add Israeli couscous to pot and stir. Add feta cheese and chopped chives and stir. Give the broth a taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. I didn't need any pepper since the red pepper added enough for my taste. But I still added a pinch of salt. Turn off heat and serve immediately.
