In a large stock pot, combine the vegetable stock and water. Heat on medium-high until bubbling (but not boiling).
Drain – but do
not rinse – the corn, tomatoes, and beans. Add them to the pot, as well
as the couscous and elbow pasta. Heat on medium-high heat for approx.
10 minutes.
Check to see if
the pasta & couscous are getting soft. Then add cooking wine and
garlic chunks, and turn the heat down a bit. Cook for another ten
minutes.
Add the frozen spinach, stirring occasionally until it is fully incorporated (and not a frozen brick!).
Add salt and pepper. Cook on low heat until ready to serve.
