I truly make soup any chance I get. I think I love making soup so much because there’s no need to overthink the cooking process, and I’m pretty certain I won’t mess it up. Simply toss everything into a large stock pot (I always use my Le Creuset Dutch Oven), and call it a day.
If you need to adjust it in any way, i.e. add more spices, broth, etc., it’s easy no matter where you are in the cooking process.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this One Pot Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup:
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Yellow Onion
- Carrots
- Celery
- Chicken
- Bone Broth.
- Dried Orzo
- Lemon
- Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Salt and Pepper
- Spinach
- Parsley
I typically use boneless, skinless, chicken breasts and cook them right in the soup, however, you can use pre-cooked/rotisserie chicken if you’d prefer. That will also cut down on the cook time to make this soup an extra quick one pot wonder!!
I’ve been loving my Dexas fruit boards lately, especially this super cute lemon one!! I love them because they are the perfect size, are dishwasher safe, double as a serving/cutting board, and just really great to have around!
They would make a really great hostess gift paired with a cute hand towel and a candle or something like that!
