Ingredients:
- 2 sticks celery, chopped finely
- 2 medium carrots, peeled & chopped finely
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Start by heating up a large pot on medium heat. Toss in the chopped celery, carrots, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté them until they’re nice and soft, letting those lovely aromas fill your kitchen.
2. Next, add the chicken breast and pour in that hearty chicken broth. Bring everything to a boil—you want to get those flavors mingling!
3. Once it's boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked through. This should take around 15-20 minutes.
4. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Then, pop it right back in, because we want all that juicy goodness!
5. Now, it’s time for the star of the show: add the orzo pasta. Let it cook according to the package instructions until tender and ready to soak up all those delicious flavors.
6. Finally, stir in the fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. You’ll love that zesty kick!
7. Serve your soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley—it's the perfect finishing touch. Enjoy every warm, comforting bite!
