Creamy Chicken Soup With Orzo image

Great for a cold winter's night. I make TONS of soup. Since hubby's heart attack, I try to find things that are full of veggies. Freezes well. I make small portions and put them in ziplock bags. Great for lunches at work, or to give to my mom!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped (if making in the winter, you can substitute regular white onion. It's cheaper depending on where you)
1 cup orzo pasta
2 (429 ml) cans low sodium chicken broth (I make my own broth, and use about 1 L)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook over medium high heat until they are "al dente" (crispy tender) ~ about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in orzo, chicken broth, spices and salt and pepper.
  • Continue cooking and bring to a full boil for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and flour until smooth. Add to soup stirring constantly until mixture comes back to a boil and gets slightly thickened.(2-3 minutes).
  • Add chicken and cook until heated through.
  • *I prefer a thick soup, but you can add more milk to thin it out if that is your preference.

This soup is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it turned out great! The vegetables added a nice crunch and extra flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from a previous meal and it worked perfectly in this soup.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 8 hours. It was perfect for a cold winter day.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out watery. I think I added too much chicken broth.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of orzo, so I used rice instead. The soup turned out great! It was creamy and flavorful, and the rice was a nice addition.

This was a quick and easy soup to make. I used frozen chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the soup. The orzo added a nice heartiness to the soup.

This soup was a bit too creamy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chicken soup he's ever had.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not usually a fan of creamy soups, but this one was light and flavorful. The orzo was a nice touch.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in the soup. The orzo added a nice texture and the soup was very flavorful.

This creamy chicken soup with orzo was a hit with my family! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the orzo added a nice heartiness. I will definitely be making this soup again.
