I recently created this recipe because I wanted to make a soup that contained all the things that help me alleviate my asthma. I'm not such a fan of chicken soup but this turned out great and now I make it all the time whether I need it or not.

How To Make spicy chicken orzo soup

  • Step 1
    Boil your chicken in a large pot of water. Remove chicken and chop or shred it.
  • Step 2
    Add the vegetables and salt to the water and cook until tender.
  • Step 3
    Return as much of the chopped chicken as you like in your soup to the pot. If you have leftovers save them for another recipe.
  • Step 4
    Add the orzo and cook until the pasta is done. More orzo makes a heartier soup, less makes a nice thinner soup.
  • Step 5
    Optional - if you like you can also add some Italian seasoning if you like it.
  • Step 6
    Enjoy
