Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced, or white onion
  • 3 carrot diced
  • 3 celery diced, stalks
  • salt freshly ground, to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 3 cups chicken breasts shredded, cooked
  • 2 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 lemon, fresh

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, celery, and carrots until they’re tender, 6-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. When the veggies are tender, add in the garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour. Stir until you can no longer see the flour and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and stir everything together. Bring the soup to a boil and add in the orzo. Stir and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the orzo until it's al dente stirring often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken, lemon juice, and dill. Taste for seasoning and serve.
