RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Chicken Vegetable and Orzo Soup

February 23, 2023

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 large chicken breasts)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 14 oz packaged, grated mixed vegetables (like corn, green beans, and carrots, or canned vegetables listed in Tips)
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat orzo
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups water

Directions

  1. Add chicken broth, water, thyme, and dill into a large, heavy-duty pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. When boiling, use tongs to add chicken breasts into the water. Cover, lowering heat to medium or medium-low, so liquid is at a simmer. Cook until chicken is fully-cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Cut into the chicken to check that it is fully cooked.) When chicken is done, use tongs to transfer chicken from soup onto a plate. Carefully, cut chicken into a few pieces to cool quickly.
  3. Stir in orzo, frozen vegetables, spinach, and lemon juice. Let soup cook over medium heat until orzo is cooked, about 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, when chicken has cooled down, cut into chunks. Add chicken to the soup when orzo has cooked its 10 minutes, stirring and cooking until chicken is warm, just a couple minutes. Remove soup from heat and serve.
