Saute onion and garlic in 1/2 cup of the broth. When soft add the rest of the broth, water if desired, celery, carrots, parsnip, potatoes, tomatoes, and can of chickpeas (drained). I put a lid and temp on low, letting it simmer all day. Right before serving I put in the zucchini and artichoke hearts. I don't think I forgot anything,but if I did add something you like!! I served it with some fresh gluten-free bread and probably ate too much! Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey.

I am always on the look out for anything new to try and the soup sounds good; have you tried adding couscous to salad greens before? Make a regular tossed salad using the raw veggies of your choice, add 1/2 cup of cooked couscous(I prefer garlic flavored), toss w/evoo and balsamic vinegar dressing with crushed dried basil and oregano,freshly ground black pepper, dash of salt. Lettuce of choice: Butter with handful of fresh spinach. This combo holds the dressing well. The best thing about using this grain is it absorbs the dressing taste wonderfully. Has anyone tried using other types of grains in their salads? Thanks again for the recipe, Gramma

You should try this grain also, it is a power house of nutrition! Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey.
