 Pretty good, but saltyFeb 21, 2009
By Rennie
The flavor is not bad, it's just that it's so salty. I wish there were a way to leave out some of the seasoning. Lots of dehydrated veggies in there - carrots, peas, corn, beans, green beans, and some lentils.
My recommendation is to let it sit for more like 10 minutes after you put in the boiling water. Otherwise, the beans will still be hard. Give it a good stir in the middle though. Also, more time gives the couscous a chance to absorb more water so the cup will be more couscous and less watery.

 My favoriteFeb 26, 2010
By luvz2shop
Of all the Nile soups I use, this is my favorite. Wonderful flavor--but I let it sit about 8 minutes to rehydrate the corn and green beans better. My brother in law recommended it to me, and it just nudged out black bean as a favorite.

Nutrition FactsDec 15, 2009

I bought this because I read on this site that the dietary fiber was 12 grams, however it is only 2 grams so the site isn't correct. The calories are wrong as well. Good product otherwise. I have repeat purchased several of these "soups" mostly for the protein, low fat and high fiber. The sodium is higher than I'd like, however relative to other soups, it is very reasonable.
Good soup!Jun 15, 2011

Couscous Minestrone? Really? I passed on this one a few times before finally giving it a try, but I'm glad I did as it is pretty tasty, very filling, and as good as you would expect from Nile Spice. I like a lot of their soups and this one joins the list. It has a slightly spicy kick, no really strong flavors, but overall is tasty enough. Not my favorite, but pretty good. I like the 180 cals and almost no fat. A bit high in sodium (590 mg., 25% of daily recommended intake) as is true of many of these soups.
I love Nile Spice soups because they taste good and are so quick and easy to prepare. Just add boiling water, stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes. I prefer the boiling water method to the "add water and heat in microwave" method as there are no "boil overs" and mess in the microwave this way, and they taste as good or better to me.
I wouldn't call it minestrone, exactly, but I would call it good.

I take this soup on work trips. As a vegetarian, I know I'll have something to eat. Tip: Get a box of cheap sandwich ziplog bags. Pour the soup into a bag and use a plastic bowl. It'll store in a much more compact space that way.
