There is nothing better than a cozy soup on a chilly day and this lemony chicken orzo soup recipe checks all the boxes! Healthy, flavorful and I just love how the orzo soaks up all this delicious lemony herby flavor so leftovers taste even better the next day. Think classic chicken noodle soup, but with a twist! This is a great recipe the whole family loves and it always hits the spot whenever someone has a cold or is feeling under the weather.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You&#8217;ll Love This<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bright lemony broth that makes this soup so cozy!<\/li>\n<li>Healthy, packed with veggies, tender orzo pasta and shredded chicken.<\/li>\n<li>Easily made in just 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>You only need to use <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/4OjC\">one pot<\/a> which makes cleaning up a breeze.<\/li>\n<li>Great for meal prep because leftover soup tastes better the next day!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1796\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/lemon-orzo-soup-22-1200x1796-1.jpg\" alt=\"Easy and delicious Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup loaded with tender chicken, fresh veggies, and leafy greens all simmered in the most flavorful broth!

You could also use melted butter in place of the oil if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>garlic<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 fresh minced garlic this really punches up the flavor and is a\u00a0<em>must<\/em>\u00a0in this soup!<\/li>\n<li><strong>chicken broth<\/strong> &#8211; I used low-sodium chicken broth, but you could also use vegetable broth or any stocks you have in your pantry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>chicken<\/strong> &#8211; I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts that cook right in the soup, but skinless chicken thighs would work as well.  You could also use shredded rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken or turkey you may have on hand to save some time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>orzo<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/dVuEG\">orzo pasta<\/a> is small, rice-shaped pasta that cooks quickly and has the magical ability of soaking up all these delicious flavors!\u00a0If you don\u2019t have orzo, any type of small pasta or even rice will work in this dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>leafy greens\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 I added in kale which packs in the antioxidants, vitamin C and other nutrients good for your health along with some fresh parsley. Fresh spinach makes a great addition as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>fresh lemon juice + zest<\/strong> &#8211; this brightens up the soup and adds so much fresh flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>seasonings<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 combination of dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt and black pepper. Italian seasoning works great too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup<\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about this lemon chicken soup is that everything comes together in just 30 minutes in just a few simple steps!&nbsp; Here\u2019s how I make it:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 the veggies.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Heat olive oil in a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/4OjC\">large dutch oven<\/a> or large pot over medium-high heat and saut\u00e9 yellow onion, celery and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add in the garlic and saut\u00e9 for an additional 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let the soup simmer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Stir in the chicken broth, chicken and seasonings and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add in the orzo.<\/strong> Add in the orzo and cook for an additional 10 minutes on medium heat, until the orzo is al dente and chicken is tender enough to shred.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix in kale and lemon.<\/strong>\u00a0 Remove the chicken and cut it up or shred it, return it back into the pot along with the lemon juice, lemon zest and kale leaves (or baby spinach leaves). Give everything a good mix.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve and enjoy!<\/strong>\u00a0Ladle soup into bowls, top with fresh parsley, a little parmesan cheese and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1646\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/lemon-orzo-soup-4-1200x1646-1.jpg\" alt=\"Easy and delicious Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup loaded with tender chicken, fresh veggies, and leafy greens all simmered in the most flavorful broth!
