Continuing the season of soup making, I switched up my dad’s Chicken Soup Recipe and added spinach and orzo to it. This soup will take around 3 hours to make — so it’s perfect for a wintery day when you can just add the ingredients and let it simmer. It really doesn’t need much tlc. I used organic chicken, organic chicken broth, frozen organic spinach, veggies, and whole wheat orzo. This was actually a very kid friendly soup and two out of my three (Picky Eater 1.0 included) tried it and liked it. Serve it with some crusty bread and you have a meal to tide you over in this cold weather.
Get a large stockpot and set it out. I have a 16 quart stockpot that my dad got for me and use it exclusively for large batches of soup.
You’ll need:
Cut up fresh organic chicken (remember to take the bagged insides out). If an organic chicken is not available, try for a kosher chicken.
Organic celery
Organic Carrots
Yellow onion
Garlic to taste (I used whole cloves)
Thyme to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large parsnip
Frozen organic spinach
Organic Free Range Chicken Broth
8 quarts water
Whole Wheat Orzo
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to your stockpot. Simmer for 2 hours. Add orzo during the last 9 minutes (put timer on and shut off soup at 9 minutes. Serve. After the soup has cooled, scoop any chicken fat of of the top.
