There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of chicken soup. Warm, creamy broth, that makes you feel full, but not bloated. Simple ingredients that cook up into a delicious meal quickly. That’s what my Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup is all about. Ingredients
How to Make Lemon Chicken Orzo SoupStart your soup by bringing the chicken broth to a boil, remove about 1 cup of hot broth and set aside. Add the orzo, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 15 minutes until pasta is tender. While pasta simmers, start your cornstarch slurry. Add the cornstarch slowly to the hot broth you have set aside, and whisk until fully incorporated. Next, slowly whisk in the lemon juice to the slurry. Finish the slurry by slowly whisking in the egg to the hot broth mixture, allowing the eggs to slowly raise in temperature so they don’t scramble or curdle. Slowly add your egg/broth mixture back into the large pot with the orzo, and stir until soup thickens. Add the shredded or cubed chicken to the pot. Stir together until chicken is warmed through, and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and garnish with green onion, if desired. Easy Substitutions
