Lemony Orzo Chicken Soup

08/27/2020 | comment

Perfect for rainy nights, feeling a little under the weather, or just because you deserve a steaming bowl of goodness after a chilly day (and wine too!)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick
  • 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 Tblsp Cru Sauvignon Blanc Spice
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup orzo
  • 2 Tblsp chopped fresh dill (for serving)
  • Lemon halves (for serving)

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add leek and celery and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are soft, 5-8 minutes. Add chicken, Cru Sauvignon Blanc Spice and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Let cool, then shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, return broth to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat. Stir in chicken and dill. Serve with lemon halves for squeezing over.
