Chicken orzo soup nothing too frilly about this soup, it is easy to make, but tastes great and is perfect for lunch with maybe a sandwich or a piece of fruit.

I have made countless soups over the years. To me, soup is the perfect comfort food, something that I love eating at lunchtime when the weather turns cold especially during the week. It warms me up and keeps me going until the end of the day.

I was dealing with a cold last week, it started over the weekend. So I knew that soup was needed to help me to get through the week and to get over the cold that was brewing. Since I wasn’t feeling all that great I wanted something simple, something that I could throw together in a short period of time.

I remember as a kid when I would have a cold or was not feeling well my mom would serve chicken noodle soup with a peanut butter sandwich. It is still one my favorite things to eat when a cold hits me. It is funny how memories like this stay with you over the years, but I am happy that they do.

For me sometimes the simple things are the things that I enjoy the most. When it comes to soup a nice hearty simple soup is something that I really enjoy such as this chicken orzo soup, not a lot frills or fuss just plain delicious.

    I grew up loving chicken and rice soup…especially when I was sick. And it’s still a comfort food to this day. I’m actually working on my 2nd cold of the year so far. Ah, life with a toddler, right? I’m thinking I need a good batch of this soup to get me through this cold. I love the orzo twist!

    I completely agree that there are so many extremely good approaches to make truffles.I really like an excellent Chicken orzo soup , so i am definitely all the way down to make these tarts. And we do soup occasionally round right here, too. It’s no longer glamorous, however it’s clean. And sometimes you just want easy! chicken,carrots, mushrooms,appears like a wonderful Friday meal to me!
