- 1 large onion (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (cut into rounds or dice)
- 2 stalks of celery (cut into half moons)
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- juice and zest of 1.5 lemons
- 1 large chicken breast shredded or diced into bit size pieces
- 8 cups of chicken broth
- 1 handful chopped Italian parsley
- 1/4 cup orzo pasta or any other small pasta like ditalini or stars
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- Better Than Bouillion (as necessary)
- salt and pepper to taste
- For best flavor, use chicken broth rather than stock. You can roast chicken beforehand or add raw chicken to the soup when adding broth. Adjust Better Than Bouillion carefully, tasting after boiling to avoid oversalting. This soup is perfect for brightening up chilly days.
