Creamy Soup with Couscous and Broccoli - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Cream cheese, ricotta, or mascarpone work well for similar creaminess. For a lighter option, try plain Greek yogurt added at the end of cooking.
Swap butter for vegan butter or olive oil, use dairy-free cheese alternatives, and ensure vegetable broth replaces any animal-based ingredients.
Absolutely! Add frozen broccoli directly to the broth—no need to thaw. Cook for 1-2 extra minutes if needed.
Quinoa, rice, or gluten-free orzo are excellent alternatives. Adjust cooking time according to the grain you choose.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Note: Couscous may absorb more liquid over time—add broth when reheating.
Yes, but freeze without couscous for best texture. Cook couscous fresh when reheating. Frozen soup keeps for 2-3 months.
Cut florets into uniform sizes and avoid overcooking. Add them later if you prefer crisper broccoli.
Serve with crusty bread, a kale salad, or roasted chickpeas for crunch. A lemon wedge adds brightness!
