Chicken Orzo Soup

Chicken Orzo Soup

I quadruple this for 8-10 people

3 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size 

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 cup water

2/3 cup shredded carrot

1/3 cup sliced green onion

1/4cup uncooked orzo pasta

1teaspoon grated fresh ginger

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Dash black pepper

Spray medium saucepan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from saucepan and set aside.

In same saucepan, combine broth, water, carrot, green onion, orzo, ginger and turmeric. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 8 to 10 minutes or until orzo is tender. Stir in chicken and lemon juice; cook until hot. Season to taste with pepper.

(This reminds me of the Chicken Orzo soup at Zoe's)
