Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I had a bad cold and didn't have an appetite. Suddenly lemon appealed to me, so I decided to try to make a lemon chicken soup with orzo.
First step was to cook the chicken. Once that was ready, I added it to some broth (I used a combination of bone broth and low sodium chicken)with some carrots, lots of herbs, and a hearty squeeze (more like 1/2 a cup) of lemon.
I simmered some spinach separately so it wouldn't wilt, and added it right before serving.
I cooked the orzo separately and then spooned the soup over it.
The soup was delicious and tasted even better with bread two days later! The lemon added a perfect zing.
