How to Make Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup #soup #food #cooking #Vlogmas Day 11

Start by adding 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet to cover the bottom.

Add the leeks, celery, and carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring every minute.

Add 2 tablespoons of Mrs Dash, 2 tablespoons of lemon pepper, and 2 tablespoons of garlic salt to the vegetables and continue sautéing.

Zest one lemon and add the zest to the skillet, then juice both lemons and add the juice to the skillet.

Let the mixture cook for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors.

Add the two chicken breasts to the pot, along with 2 tablespoons of thyme, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and a couple of bay leaves.

Pour in one carton of chicken broth and add 2 cups of water to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook uncovered for about 35 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, and then shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones.

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and bring the mixture back to a boil for about 3 minutes.

Add half a box of orzo pasta to the boiling soup and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium-high heat.

Remove the bay leaves from the soup and stir in fresh dill before serving.
