A bright, lemony chicken and orzo soup with fresh herbs like dill and coriander. Light and springy, this tangy soup is comforting without being heavy.

Nutrition & ingredients

Ingredients

serves 6
  • 1 left-over roasted chicken with at least 1-2 cups meat left on it. ( Or sub 8-12 ounces chicken breast and 8 cups chicken stock -see notes)
  • 10 cups water
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 2 tsp salt, more to taste
  • 1 extra large onion or 2 leeks, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, rough chopped
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted coriander seeds (or 1 tablespoon ground coriander)
  • 2 lemons (¼-1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lemon zest)
  • 1 cup dry orzo ( If you want thicker soup you could add 1/2 – 1 cup more orzo. Basically, if you are serving all the soup right away, use more orzo. If you are saving some soup for the next day, the orzo will quadruple in size leaving you with no broth. Up to you.)
  • ¼ cup chopped dill, more for garnish
  • Garnish: Dollop Sour Cream (optional) or creme fraiche and sprig of dill
