Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup image

This is a Cooking Light recipe I modified. I substituted store-bought rotisserie chicken and chicken stock in place of making my own. I serve this with some grated Romano cheese on top.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time and freeze.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less salt.

I would have preferred the soup to be a bit thicker. Maybe I could have added more orzo or flour.
