A rice dish was planned and it resulted in orzo, then into a chicken stir-fry, and today it's a soup.
When I reached for rice, I took down a jar of orzo, and I cooked it and noticed it was not rice. The recipe was for Rice with cilantro and lime juice, with squash served on top. I cooked chicken in a stir-fry method, added the veggies and served them on top of orzo.
This morning I combined chicken broth with all, and it became soup! I learned from mom, nothing goes to waste, and this is really delicious soup.

How to Make Oops-it's not rice-Soup
- Heat olive oil in a large skilled, add chunks of chicken and stir often, add minced garlic and cook a few minutes more, until chicken is golden brown on all sides.
- Meanwhile cook the orzo, I used a steamer, but it can be boiled.
I used a steamer, but you can boil the chunks of squash separately, for perhaps twenty minutes. Drain thoroughly. - Combine the orzo, lime juice and cilantro.
Stir the butter and brown sugar into the squash and mash it a little, add veggies to the chicken.
*NOTE: I served the squash and chicken over the orzo the first meal. In the morning I took what was left and combined this with the chicken broth and heated it to make a delicious hot soup.
