Chicken Orzo Soup | the chicken noodle soup you wish you had as a kid! 

🐔 Chicken 
2 large chicken breast, about 2 lbs
Garlic powder
Paprika 
Salt & Pepper 

🍜 Soup 
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced 
2 celery stalks, diced 
4 garlic cloves, mined 
1 tsp dried oregano 
1 tsp fennel pollen, or crushed fennel seeds 
1/2 tsp dried thyme 
1/2 tsp ground coriander 
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 
8 cups chicken stock 
1 cup orzo 
1 lemon, zested and juiced 
2 tbsp parsley, chopped 
2 tbsp basil, finely sliced 
Salt & Pepper
EVOO

Season each breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat your soup pot over high heat. Once hot, drizzle with olive oil, and add the chicken. Sear the chicken for 2 minutes per side to get a nice crust. 

Remove the chicken, and add the veggies. Season with salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook until the veggies are softened. Then add the garlic and dried herbs. Cook until fragrant. 

Add the chicken broth, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the chicken breast. Cover, and let the breast simmer for 30-40 minutes. 

Remove the chicken, and shred using two forks. Add the shredded chicken and orzo back to the soup. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. 

5 minutes before the orzo is done, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, and parsley. Taste, and adjust salt & pepper as needed. Serve in bowls with some Pecorino, a drizzle of EVOO, and crusty bread!
