4.0 out of 5 stars Great for on the go
These are great little meals on the go. I'm a truck driver, and it's nice to have something shelf stable and easy to prepare. It doesn't get any easier than bowling water and pouring it in a cup. The flavor is good, and the size is good. My sister doesn't like them.. says they are too watery, but I like them. Not too expensive to try out for yourself. Hope this helps.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much spice for me
I received this and the black bean with rice. Both are too spicy for me, so I won't be ordering again. Since they came in a case, I will have to find some way to use them as a condiment and incorporate them into a dish.

This review is from: Nile Spice Couscous Parmesan, Low Fat, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
I really liked this item. It was a little spicy for some of my family members, but all in all it was enjoyed by everyone. The first time I made it I added water to the line and it ended up a little loose, so if you prefer more fluffy add a little less water to container. Great side dish item.

I bought a 12 pack of these a while back and bring them to work for a quick lunch. The flavor is gourmet! I absolutely can not believe these can be so fast and taste so good. You just need to be patient and let it sit for at least 5 minutes, it's actually better if you wait just a little longer. You won't be disappointed!

You can still find them at Amazon - wonderful - because our local grocery stores have elected to stop stocking them, in favor of much larger and more expensive brands.

Yum. This has a good and distinct Parmesan flavor to it. It's quite rich because of it. Let it sit for 10 minutes instead of the recommended 5, and give it a good stir every few minutes to make sure the dried veggies inside get a chance to hydrate.
It's too flavored to eat as a side to a dish but it's great on its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast'n'Easy. Very UNIQUE! Tasty!, February 5, 2009
By 
This review is from: Nile Spice Couscous Parmesan, Low Fat, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
My family got this to have every now and then. Possibly to leave in the car trunk, and work desk in case of emergencies (i.e. stuck somewhere with no time/place to get food).

VERY EASY to make! add hot/boiling water for 5minutes (I say 7/8 for better results). The most important part is this is a definitely different type of soup! Never heard of it in any restaurant, never saw it in Vons or any other supermarket, and never heard someone cook it. So it's definitely more fun to eat than the typical lentil or minestrone which you can get anywhere.

It's very good!! (4 people tried it so far, and 100% were very impressed w it.) A little on the spicy side, but if you're having it with a side of bread, you won't notice it. (In fact most of you probably won't notice it anyway...I'm just super super sensitive to spicy things.)

Specifics:
- very chunky! with couscous bits
- mildly spicy
- excellent taste
- can taste the cheese. yum.
- vegetarian
- No Organic symbol anywhere (prob not organic)

This review is from: Nile Spice Couscous Parmesan, Low Fat, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
I have been eating these soups since I was a little kid. When my grocery store stopped stocking them, I found them here. These soup cups are perfect for lunch; they're very easy to make, they're fast, and you can take them anywhere. I personally like really bold flavors, so the spice is not too much for me, and the smooth texture I find delightful. I highly recommend these soups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Ramen, November 29, 2010

This review is from: Nile Spice Couscous Parmesan, Low Fat, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) (Grocery)
I purchased this item after seeing the relatively lower sodium compared to noodle soups (~500mg vs. ~2500mg). Good flavor, a little spicy but tolerable. This is a SOUP and not simply a "couscous-in-a-cup", but for those who find it "loose", should drain the liquid while the lid is still on, to yield that "couscous-in-a-cup" result. Great both ways.

This product is pretty good. When I forget to bring my lunch to work this is a good solution to have. The spice in the soup has a really good flavor, and to me this is more of a pasta dish than a soup. I would order this again, but it is not a must have for me.
