Instructions

1. For cooking, use a thick-walled saucepan, pot, or deep skillet. Pour in vegetable oil and heat.

2. Place the bacon on a paper towel.
3. Peel the onions and carrots. Cut into small random pieces. Place the chopped vegetables in the same bowl where the bacon was fried. Cook over medium heat for 4-6 minutes to soften the vegetables.

6. Meanwhile, finely chop the washed greens. Cut the tomatoes into cubes (you can remove the skin beforehand). Peel and grate the garlic.
7. Put the prepared ingredients in a saucepan. Add bay leaf and salt to taste. Add most of the fried bacon (save a little for serving). Bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes.
8. Add chopped greens at the end of cooking. Stir. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Soup with couscous, bacon, and vegetables is ready.
