Since I have limited time to make the meal, I decided to make a very easy and hearty soup- Chicken Orzo Soup! It only took me 20 minutes to make and most of the time was spent prepping the ingredients.
Ingredients
*4 cups homemade chicken broth, divided
*1/2 cup uncooked orzo
*2 teaspoons olive oil
*2/3 cup coarsely chopped carrot
*1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
*1/2 cup chopped onion
*3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
*1 1/4 cups water
*3 fresh parsley sprigs
*1 fresh thyme sprig
*4 cups fresh baby spinach
*1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
*1/4 teaspoon salt
*1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Bring 1 3/4 cups broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add orzo; cook 10 minutes or until done. Drain.
2. While orzo cooks, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add carrot, celery, onion, and chicken; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 2 1/4 cups broth, 1 1/4 cups water, parsley, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Discard herb sprigs. Add orzo, spinach, juice, salt, and pepper; simmer 1 minute.
