Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

Step 1

Sauté the celery, carrots, and onions in a large soup pot with the butter and oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the flour and cook for another minute or so.

Step 3

Pour in chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved, then add the Italian seasoning and chicken. Bring the soup to a boil.

Step 4

Cover the soup (lid slightly ajar), and reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the orzo and cook for another 10 minutes or until the orzo is cooked through. I keep the lid off and stir it fairly often because it tends to stick to the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

Take the chicken out of the pot and cut it up, then add it back in. Add the lemon juice (you may want to add more than I suggest - I didn't want to make the soup too lemony for some people), parsley, and season the soup with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
