CREAMY CHICKEN SOUP WITH ORZO



Creamy Chicken Soup With Orzo image

Great for a cold winter's night. I make TONS of soup. Since hubby's heart attack, I try to find things that are full of veggies. Freezes well. I make small portions and put them in ziplock bags. Great for lunches at work, or to give to my mom!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped (if making in the winter, you can substitute regular white onion. It's cheaper depending on where you)
1 cup orzo pasta
2 (429 ml) cans low sodium chicken broth (I make my own broth, and use about 1 L)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook over medium high heat until they are "al dente" (crispy tender) ~ about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in orzo, chicken broth, spices and salt and pepper.
  • Continue cooking and bring to a full boil for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and flour until smooth. Add to soup stirring constantly until mixture comes back to a boil and gets slightly thickened.(2-3 minutes).
  • Add chicken and cook until heated through.
  • *I prefer a thick soup, but you can add more milk to thin it out if that is your preference.

CREAMY CHICKEN ORZO SOUP



Creamy Chicken Orzo Soup image

Creamy chicken orzo soup is a stick to your ribs kind of soup that's hearty enough for a dinner on a cold winter's night and easy enough to make for a quick weekend lunch. This creamy chicken soup is thick and delicious and it's filled with one of my favorite fast ingredients: leftover roast chicken!

Provided by Smells Like Home

Categories     soup, stew, chili, chowder

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 small or 1 large onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced (about 2 to 3 tsp)
1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1 ½ tsp dried thyme
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup dry orzo pasta
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
Juice of ½ lemon
¼ cup heavy cream or plain yogurt
Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a stockpot or large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and good pinch of salt and pepper, and saute while stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the flour and stir frequently for 1 ½ to 2 minutes (this will help to flavor the soup and thicken it as well). The flour should turn golden brown. Slowly whisk in the broth until smooth.
  • Increase the heat to high, bring the soup to a boil, and stir in the orzo. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Mix in the cooked chicken, lemon juice, and heavy cream and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, just until the chicken is warmed through. Serve while still hot with a sprinkle of parsley over the top.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Noodle Soup Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces orzo pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 carrots, chopped, or more to taste
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
3 (32 ounce) cartons fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
8 ounces cooked chicken breast, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
1 lemon, sliced for garnish
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Look for organic, free-range chicken and vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the chicken, make sure there is enough space in the pot for the chicken to move around and cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to add salt and pepper to taste. Season the soup throughout the cooking process, starting with the chicken and vegetables and finishing with the soup itself.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if you have time.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs, and crispy croutons are all great additions to creamy chicken soup with orzo.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken soup with orzo is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy broth, tender chicken, and flavorful orzo, this soup is sure to warm you up on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
