Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

This chicken soup is so nicely flavored.  The garlic is not pronounced, just adds to the overall taste! It comes together quickly, especially when using a rotisserie chicken!

10 cups chicken broth
3 T. Olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet onion
1 large lemon, zested
meat from 1 rotisserie chicken,  or 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked & shredded
1 cup Israeli (pearl) couscous
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup chopped chives
salt & pepper to taste

Peel onion, quarter and slice into thin strips.  Heat the oil in your soup pot, and once hot, saute the onion & minced garlic until it is nicely softened.  Make sure it's nice and soft!

Add the chicken stock, lemon zest and crushed red pepper to the pot and bring to a boil.  Add the chicken and simmer until chicken is warmed.

Add couscous, a teaspoon of salt and black pepper.  Simmer 5 minutes.

Serve with crumbled feta and chopped chive.
