the bowl holds one cup. the baggie contained 1 tsp chicken broth powder, 1 tsp dehydrated veggies, and 3 Tbsp couscous. I dumped the mix into the bowl, filled it with hot water from the coffee bar, stirred it up and then put the middle container's lid on it for it to soften up. When i went to eat it, the couscous had swelled up and there was only a couple teaspoons of liquid left.
So, 3 Tbsp couscous is too much for soup, but it's perfect for a side dish! it sat for five minutes or so, and was pretty much perfect. it maybe needs a tiny bit more broth powder, but it wasn't so bland that i couldn't eat it -- it just wasn't overly salty/seasoned the way pre-packaged soups/ramen are.
for soup, i think 1 to 1.5 Tbsp couscous would be plenty, or i'll need to double the liquid. I think I'll give that a go for lunch tomorrow, along with a turkey/ham/swiss wrap.
