Process
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
- Preheat a pot over medium heat and prepare the mirepoix (carrots, onions, celery).
- Add the avocado oil and begin to saute the veggies with half the salt.
- Add the parsley, and saute until the onions start to appear translucent.
- Add the diced rotisserie chicken and saute together for a few minutes before covering with the chicken stock and water.
- Bring the soup to a rolling boil and then add the orzo directly in along with half of the remaining kosher salt.
- Give it a good stir, and cook the pasta to package instructions. The pasta will add its natural starch and slightly thicken the soup.
- After the package cook time, bring the soup to a simmer, add the fresh lemon juice and black pepper, and check to see if the soup needs the remaining amount of kosher salt.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
When the soup is stored and desired for leftovers, be aware that the pasta will continue to absorb the soup broth. I recommend reheating on the stove in a pot with an extra half to full cup of water depending on the quantities remaining.
