Nothing says comfort like a bowl of hearty chicken soup. Pair with a sandwich for a simple, heart-warming dinner option. Ingredients:
1 (32-ounce) container fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided |
1/2 cup uncooked orzo |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2/3 cup coarsely chopped carrot |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 1/4 cups water |
3 fresh parsley sprigs |
1 fresh thyme sprig |
4 cups fresh baby spinach |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring 1 3/4 cups broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add orzo; cook 10 minutes or until done. Drain.
2. While orzo cooks, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add carrot, celery, onion, and chicken; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 2 1/4 cups broth, 1 1/4 cups water, parsley, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Discard herb sprigs. Add orzo, spinach, juice, salt, and pepper; simmer 1 minute.
