Directions

  1. 1. To make stock, heat butter in a heavy-bottomed 3-qt saucepan. Add in chicken breasts and wings and cook over medium heat till golden brown, about 8 min. Remove chicken and set aside. Remove all but 1 Tablespoons of fat from pan and add in onions, carrot, saffron, and turmeric. Cook over low heat till onions are soft and translucent/soft, about 25 min.
  2. 2. Add in tomatoes and cook for 5 min. Add in chicken and remaining stock ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook, skimming often, for 1 1/2 hrs.
  3. Remove chicken; strain stock through a fine sieve into a clean pot. Reserve wings for another use. When breasts are cold sufficient to handle, throw away skin and pull meat off bones in medium shreds. Measure out 1 1/2 C; reserve remaining chicken for another use. Cover and chill.
  4. 3. Let stock cold slightly, then chill, covered, overnight, or possibly till fat congeals on top. Remove with a large spoon and return stock to stove.
  5. 4. To make soup, bring stock to a simmer, add in chick-peas and vegetables, and cook till tender, about 10 min, adding chicken meat and couscous a few min before serving. Garnish each serving with a few cilantro leaves.
