Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 quart chicken stock
1/3 cup orzo
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 split breasts), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
4 cups loosely packed baby spinach
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Combine the carrots, celery and onions, chicken stock and 2 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the orzo and 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables and orzo are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Toss the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then add to the soup along with the peas. Simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted.
  • Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and zest and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the soup between 4 pint-size Mason jars.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The lemon flavor is very subtle and it really complements the chicken and orzo.
