Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cooked and shredded, boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion diced
- 3 carrot peeled and diced
- 2 celery diced, ribs
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup orzo pasta uncooked
- lemon juice of 1
- lemon pepper seasoning to taste
- rosemary leaves, for garnish
- parsley leaves, for garnish
- Parmesan Cheese for serving
Instructions
- Add the butter to a large pot and melt over medium heat.
- Add the onions, carrots, and celery and saute for 7-8 minutes, until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chicken broth and dry orzo pasta. Cook for 9-13 minutes or until the orzo is cooked and plump.
- Stir in chicken, Italian seasonings, fresh lemon juice, and lemon pepper. Let the soup heat up and thicken. The orzo pasta will soak up the chicken broth so you may need to add more. If you have leftover soup, add more broth before rewarming.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you want extra lemon flavor, add fresh lemon zest.
- Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and parsley. Serve with fresh parmesan cheese if you desire!
