Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced celery
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
6 cups chicken broth
1 ¼ cups uncooked orzo pasta
1 bunch Italian parsley
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; saute until onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chicken, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and shred when cool enough to handle.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and discard parsley stems; roughly chop leaves. Stir parsley into the soup with shredded chicken and vinegar. Adjust seasonings and ladle into bowls.
