Chicken Orzo Soup. Perfect for a rainy day. Like Chicken noodle with a slight Italian twist. A quick way to get a slow cooked soup flavor. Ingredients:
1 breast of chicken |
1 box chicken stock |
1/2 onion |
1 red pepper |
2 stalks celery |
1 large carrot |
cumin (to taste) |
salt & pepper (to taste) |
3-4 leaves fresh basil |
1 clove garlic |
2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with equal amount cold chicken stock |
(* optional) |
*top with parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Begin to Boil water for Orzo Noodles in a large Pot
2. Chop: Pepper, Celery, Onion, Carrot & Garlic
3. Sweat in a little oil: Onion, then add Celery, Carrot, Garlic & Red pepper
4. *Season with Salt & pepper
5. Once vegetables are almost ready: I pushed them to the side added a little oil and cooked chicken *seasoned with Pepper, Salt & Cumin.
6. Once outside of chicken is cooked: I pulled it off, cut it into smaller pieces and returned it to the pan.
7. Add half of the stock to the pan, and let simmer.
8. Once Orzo is done cooking (about 18 minutes) remove excess water [we used the lid method as orzo is too small for our colander]
9. Add chicken and vegetables to orzo in pot.
10. Add remaining Stock, Fresh Basil, more Cumin to taste
11. Heat & add cornstarch mixture to slightly thicken.
