This satisfying soup gets its Italian flair from fennel, thyme, basil and orzo pasta. If you don't start with a low-sodium or sodium-free stock, you might want to decrease the amount of salt called for in the recipe. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. I like to add a little bit of pasta to mine.
