Lemon Orzo Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup celery, sliced thin
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup dry orzo
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 ounces cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped

Steps

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the oil. Add the garlic and celery and cook for a few minutes. Add the chicken stock and orzo, and cook for 9-10 minute, or according to your package directions.

  2. 2

    When the orzo is cooked, add in the rest of the gang: the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, and the chicken. Remove from heat and put a lid on for a few minutes to warm up the chicken.

  3. 3

    Add chopped spinach to each bowl and ladle in the soup – I add sliced lemon for garnish.
