Tip

This recipe freezes incredibly. It's a staple in our freezer for lunches.
It is a thick soup, so you could get away with calling it a stew.
Please let me know if you find any issues with this recipe.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    I've tweaked this recipe a little bit - amended cooking times and reduced cous cous quantity. I made this with turkey mince the other night and it was beautiful.

    So good! My husband isn't a soup fan but loved this. I also left the parmesan out of the meatballs as my daughter is allergic to dairy, I did add a heap of veges to the meatballs as well, then I added parmasan to mine and my husband s at the end , just sprinkled on top . Will be making this as a regular dinner in our house .

    Great recipe and really tasty. I made this for work lunches and froze it.  It freezes really well. I used pork mince for the meatballs...delicious

    What can I say but bloody amaaazing.  First yime I've had Cous cous and so glad I had it with this recipe.  Master 6 devoured 6 helpings.  Hubby who hates soup wants it as a regular meal.  Thank you so much for sharing

    Yum!! A great Sunday night favourite now. Served with crusty, hot bread. I added a touch of chilli for a bit of heat. Thanks for sharing.

    The parmesan stays in the bowl after the first step and gets mixed into the meatballs for a bit of extra flavour.  tmrc_emoticons.)

    This recipe  will be one of our family favourites it was delicious.  But can you tell me when was the grated cheese to be added.  I mixed it in at the end when I added the meat balls to the soup. tmrc_emoticons.)

    DELICIOUS! The only thing I would change is the amount of cous cous for us, so it becomes more soupy. Made it with pork, it was beautiful, thick and delicious! Will definately make this again

    This recipe is amazing!!! So easy to make, easy to hide additional veggies too! I've made this twice. First time following the recipe exact, second time I pan fried the meatballs instead. Both were amazing! This freezes so well and my work mates drool over it. Thank you for sharing tmrc_emoticons.)
