Crockpot Chicken Couscous Soup with Lemon and Herbs
This chicken couscous soup recipe is one of those cozy meals I make when I want something nourishing but still comforting. The chicken cooks low and slow in the crockpot with carrots, celery, onions, lemon, and fresh herbs until everything is tender and flavorful. Right at the end, I stir in couscous, extra broth, and greek yogurt for a lightly creamy finish. It’s a healthy chicken couscous soup that feels warm and effortless!
Coziness in a bowl 😌
When the temperatures start to drop and the sky turns a constant shade of gray, I find myself craving meals that feel like a warm hug. That’s exactly where this chicken couscous soup came from. It has the same nourishing feel as classic chicken soup, but the fluffy little pearls of couscous make it more filling and honestly, more fun to eat.
It's made in the crockpot (my favorite little kitchen helper) which does all the heavy lifting. I throw everything into the pot in the afternoon and dinner is ready by sunset - the best feeling!
