This bowl of comfort is filled with juicy bites of chicken, tender carrots, and springy pearl couscous. For an extra layer of flavor, the soup is finished with a handful of fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon for a bright citrus pop. Buttery ciabatta toasts add that crunch you’re craving in this 20 minute meal.

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick half-moons. Quarter lemon. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 minutes. • Stir in carrots, couscous, stock concentrate, mirepoix paste, and 3 cups water (6 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until couscous is tender and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes.
• While soup cooks, halve and toast ciabatta. Spread 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) over cut sides of ciabatta. Cut each half on a diagonal.
• Once soup is done, remove pot from heat. Add juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings) and as much dill as you like. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice if desired. • Divide soup between bowls. Serve with ciabatta toasts and any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
