Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

My go to "Chicken Noodle Soup" 

Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
1 pound of Chicken ( I usually just use leftovers I have on hand)
3 cloves garlic
1 onion diced 
1/3 cup diced celery 
3 carrots diced
1/2 teaspoon thyme 
5 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves 
3/4 cup uncooked pasta
1 sprig of rosemary 
Juice of 1 Lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Start by cooking your chicken if you aren't using leftovers. Then in the same pot add Olive Oil and Onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until tender. Stir in thyme until fragrant. 
Wisk in chicken stock, bay leaves and 1 cup of water. Bring to boil then stir in orzo, rosemary, and chicken. reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. 
I like my soup pretty lemony but my kids don't prefer the extra lemon. (kids- eye roll) 

Eat up!
