Creamy Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

1.0

Ingredients

2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

½ medium onion, diced

1 carrot, sliced

1 celery stalk, sliced

1–2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp red chili pepper flakes

4 cups chicken stock

⅓ cup orzo

1 bay leaf

1 small Parmesan rind (optional)

½ cup milk or half-and-half

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of ½ lemon (plus more to taste)

Black pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

Fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Instructions

Heat olive oil or butter in a soup pot over medium heat.
Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, 5–6 minutes.
Add garlic and red chili pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken stock. Add bay leaf, Parmesan rind, and black pepper.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes.
Stir in orzo and simmer 8–9 minutes, until just tender.
Lower heat and stir in milk or half-and-half.
Remove bay leaf and Parmesan rind.
Turn off heat. Stir in shredded chicken, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Taste and season with salt as needed.
Serve topped with fresh herbs and extra black pepper.

Notes

Soup will thicken as it sits; add water or milk when reheating.

Add lemon off heat to keep flavor bright.

Red chili flakes add gentle warmth without overpowering the lemon.
