Lemony Chicken Orzo Soup
Make this delicious lemony chicken orzo soup with dehydrated vegetables. It's a family favorite!
If you prefer, you can use the zest of fresh lemons or use a dash of lemon from your dehydrated lemon stock! And yes, sin of all sins, I WAS sitting in front of the computer eating it... and NOT at the dining table!
But no matter where you eat this fantastic chicken soup, it's always refreshing and
delicious, and it's that touch of lemon that elevates it from ordinary
chicken soup to extraordinary lemon chicken soup!

Substitute White Rice For Orzo
NOTE: If you're out of orzo, you can very easily substitute white
rice for the orzo, though the rice will need about 5 to 10 minutes more
to cook through. I like orzo, though, because of the way the orzo plumps up so big!
Ingredients for Lemony Chicken Orzo Soup:
-
1 slice dehydrated elephant garlic
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated carrots, crumbled into small pieces
-
3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup orzo
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 lb. pre-cooked dehydrated chicken or leftover chicken from last night's dinner! You can use canned
chicken in water too—works great!
- Italian (dried) herbs to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)
- handful fresh chopped parsley
-
salt* and pepper to taste
-
lemon juice, or dehydrated lemon, or lemon zest
How to Make Lemony Chicken Orzo Soup:
-
Use clean cold water or freshly boiled water to re-hydrate the dehydrated items above.
-
When they are sufficiently plump, add the olive oil to a heavy pan on medium heat.
-
Add the onion and carrots, cook for about 5 minutes.
-
Add the chicken stock, then add the garlic—crumbled finely, and the remaining ingredients—bring to a boil and
cook an additional eight minutes.
- At the end of cooking, add a good squirt of lemon juice (I choose to use ReaLemon brand). We just need to
detect a taste of lemon in the soup, and not overwhelm it with lemon!
*IF you need to add salt, do so, BUT be careful NOT to over-salt as the bouillon has salt in it.
