There’s a reason that chicken noodle soup is the universal comfort food… it just WORKS! One spoonful of that familiar savory soup recipe and you’re transported back to childhood.
Chicken Soup for the Soul
Doesn’t that just look like pure comfort food? I just love to serve delicious and hearty soups like Vegetable Soup, Ham Bone Soup, and this easy Chicken Orzo Soup! This is no ordinary chicken soup though, it comes with a bit of a twist! This lemon chicken orzo soup has got plenty of fresh herbs like rosemary and oregano, uses orzo pasta, and has a squeeze of bright lemon juice.
How Do You Make Lemon Chicken Soup?
This soup can be made in about 30 minutes on the stovetop. And you can even shave that time down by using precooked chicken. We like to make this soup extra quick with rotisserie chicken leftovers too! The steps to make easy chicken soup are: It’s that simple!
Do You Cook Orzo Before Adding to Soup?
Nope, it cooks right in the soup as it simmers, so there’s no need to dirty another pot! I’m all about recipes that use less dishes.
Can Other Pasta Shapes Be Used? What About Rice?
Absolutely! Chicken soup can easily be made with any kind of pasta and this Greek inspired lemon soup is no exception. Any short cut of pasta will work, just simmer until the pasta is al dente. Rice will work well to make a chicken lemon rice soup recipe, but keep in mind that different types of rice have different cook times. White rice should be tender in about 12-15 minutes, just do a taste test to make sure.
So the next time you get a craving for classic comfort food, give this delicious Chicken Soup recipe a try! Our favorite thing to have alongside chicken soup is my incredibly easy No Knead Artisan Bread!
