Easy Recipes: Chicken Orzo Soup

Sharing is caring!

A few weeks ago Chicken Orzo Soup was on my weekly meal plan and I promised to share this easy recipe with you.

Here it is- finally.

This was so delicious and it was perfect for a cold winter night. If you are on the hunt for comfort food or something to warm your soul, this needs to be on your meal plan this week!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts (or use a rotisserie chicken)
• 2 T olive oil
• garlic clove, minced (or 1 T of the jarred stuff)
• small onion, chopped
• handful of baby carrots, diced
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 4 c chicken broth (I used the leftover broth from cooking the chicken breasts)
• 1-2 c orzo (depending on how thick you want your soup- I did 1 cup)
• pepper, to taste

Add the olive oil to a stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat.

Toss in the onion, olive oil, garlic, a few cracks of pepper, the celery and carrots.

Cook over medium heat until the veggies start to get tender- about 5 to 7 minutes.

Pour the chicken broth over the veggies.

(I cooked my chicken breasts and just held on to the stock.)

Add the chicken.

Add the orzo.

I did one cup because I wanted some broth left.

Stir.

Place the lid on it and continue to cook on medium until the pasta is tender and everything is well combine- about 25-30 minutes.

Serve it up in bowls.

We had delicious garlic cheddar biscuits with our soup.
