    I love the flavors of Morocco, and this Weight Watchers Soup made Moroccan style was an easy and delicious dinner. Spices like turmeric and cumin add such interesting and complex flavors. Each time I use these two together, I wonder why I don't do it more often.

    I started off with a baked chicken recipe with lemon and herbs. It turned out great, and we had quite a bit left over that I decided to turn into soup the next day.

    If you want to do exactly what I did, brine a six pound chicken and roast in a 400° oven with fresh thyme and parsley for 30 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350º and roast for another 90 minutes or so. Chicken should cook for about 20 minutes per pound.

    I had planned to make Weight Watchers Moroccan Chicken and Couscous Soup from the site but decided to use potatoes instead of couscous as I had just bought a big bag of potatoes and realized they were fewer points. I like changing things up to create something new!

    Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the carrots and potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes.

    Add the cooked chicken and heat through, about 1 minute.

    Add spinach and remove from the heat, cover, and let stand until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.

    The Weight Watchers Moroccan Chicken and Couscous Soup on the Weight Watchers site is 3 points and this is the same recipe with potatoes instead, which are actually fewer points. Enjoy!
