Good recipe but I omitted the Thyme and Rosemary as per our taste. The broth was very flavorful and we did not feel it was needed. I also ended up putting too much orzo in the soup, so I’ll be careful not to add too much next time! I like someone’s comment that said, add the pasta each time you heat it up because if you add it all at once, it really absorbs the broth.

Delicious and perfect for our cold winters in SA🤗

Wondderful recipe! It smells so good while cooking! I used Rotisserie chicken, and I didn’t have spinach, but used some mixed veggies (Brussels, broccoli, cabbage, kale, snow peas! – I’ll use spinach next time), but it was very tasty. Thank you for another ‘keeper’.

Thanks for your kind feedback Susan! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying my recipes!

Good morning Jaclyn,
I made this delicious soup for company and it was the best!!! The only thing I did differently was substitute basmati rice for the orzo. I never had basmati rice and it cooks up perfectly and was a perfect addition to your wonderful recipe—THANK YOU! I cooked the rice separately as you suggested and the rice is so fluffy and has a subtle flavor and like it much better than ordinary rice.
Keep up doing what you do—keep supplying us with wonderful, company-worthy recipes, which are well written and easily understandable along with easy step-by-step directions and photos!
Thanks again,
Susan

Delicious! I didn’t use Parmesan or the lemon zest because I didn’t have those; I also didn’t have enough celery so I added green bell pepper and radishes. I didn’t add thyme or rosemary either, and I swapped the spinach for kale. However! It turned out delicious! I love the idea to sear the chicken first, it gives it such good flavour.

This soup is my favorite! It is my “go to dinner” for meal train recipients and I always get requests for the recipe!

I’m so glad you loved this soup Peggy!
