Chicken & Orzo Soup

This recipe came from my sweet Mama. If you like chicken noodle soup, you'll LOVE this. It has the exact flavor of a rich delicious chicken noodle soup, but this soup is with orzo. I love this soup for an easy and quick dinner that I know EVERYONE will eat without fail!

Ingredients

• 1 rotisserie chicken, picked apart (feel free to use any chicken you have on hand!

• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

• 1 onion, diced

• 3 carrots, diced or sliced

• 2 stalks of celery, diced (optional)

• 6 cups of chicken stock

• 1 cup of orzo

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

THAT'S IT! Very few and basic ingredients. Here are the quick steps.

1. In a large soup pot, melt your butter on medium heat. Add in the carrots and onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until soft and tender. I usually put the carrots in first and cook for a couple minutes because they take longer to soften.

2. Put in your chicken, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

3. Add in the orzo and cook 10-12 minutes or until the orzo is fully cooked through.

Y'all, I'm telling you-- this soup is so good. It takes no time to prepare, but it tastes like it's been simmering all day long. Serve with some saltines and enjoy!
