Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the orzo and cook 2 minutes less than the label directs.
• Meanwhile, whisk the egg, yolks, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice. Reduce the heat under the orzo to low; scoop out 1 cup broth with a ladle and pour it into the egg mixture in a steady stream, whisking with the other hand. Then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining broth and orzo in a steady stream, whisking constantly.
• Stir the chicken into the soup. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Cook, stirring, until the soup thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots and warm through.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water until partially cooked through but not yet soft, about 5 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water until cooled completely.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, and onion in hot oil until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season mixture with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf; continue cooking another 30 seconds before pouring chicken broth into the pot.
• Bring the broth to a boil. Partially cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir orzo, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the broth; add chicken. Cook until the chicken and orzo are heated through, about 5 minutes. Add baby spinach; cook until the spinach wilts into the broth and the orzo is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with lemon slices and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, chicken breasts, spinach, carrots, celery, orzo pasta, basil, oregano, pepper, and salt in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables and pasta are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Add lemon juice in small amounts, stirring well and tasting after each addition to adjust flavor.

Steps:

• In an 8-quart soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, garlic and shallots, and saute until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry, and then add in the stock, bay leaves and thyme. Add in the chicken, bring to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the chicken and let it cool. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes more. Season, and remove the thyme and bay leaves.
• Shred the cooled chicken. Add any accumulated juices from the chicken plate back to the pot along with the lemon zest and juice. Add in the butter and adjust seasoning.
• Portion the orzo and shredded chicken into 4 bowls. Ladle the soup over and garnish with the tarragon and a lemon wedge. Serve with a ton of butter crackers.

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, add 7 cups of the chicken broth, the salt and pepper; heat to boiling. Add orzo to broth; reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is tender.
• In 2-cup glass measuring cup, add remaining 1 cup broth, the lemon juice and flour, beating with whisk to combine. Slowly stir mixture into soup; return to simmering. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until soup thickens slightly.
• Stir in chicken; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Divide among bowls to serve; garnish with dill leaves.
