If you feel like everyone around you is getting sick, same. I am terrified of catching what everyone has - the flu, norovirus, a cold that is knocking people out for days. No thank you!!!! I have whipped this soup up twice in the past 4 days and will probably make it again. It's an elevated chicken noodle soup with some extra immune supporting ingredients that also makes this soup so tasty!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Chop and prepare all of your ingredients in advance and set aside.
In a large pot, add olive oil over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic and saute until fragrant.
Add in ginger and quickly saute.
Add carrots and celery to the pot and mix together.
Place chicken breast in pot and cook on both sides until you no longer see pink.
Add in broth, water, corn, potatoes, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Give it a good stir and bring to a simmer.
Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
Add in orzo.
Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer.
Add in fresh spinach and adjust taste here. I am conservative with salt so feel free to add more.
Serve with fresh grated parmesan and enjoy!

Notes

I am very conservative with my sodium in soups. I usually opt for lower sodium or sodium free broth and add my own. I find I consume less and feel better when I add it in myself, so feel free to add salt to your taste and liking here!
