Soups are so delicious and will warm your soul up even on the chilliest of nights. Below I have found some kickass chicken, beef, a vegetable soup that will light a fire under your ass and keep you going as the temperatures continue to dip.
Don’t be fooled y’all. This is no ordinary chicken soup, this is a chicken soup that has gotten a makeover and it is early to ball out all over your taste buds. This soup is made with orzo which is a large grain of rice that is shaped like a piece of pasta. It gives it that upgrade. The best part of the soup, in my opinion, is the freshly squeezed lemon juice. That concoction will wake you up real quick and give you an extra pep in your step! Interested? Here is what you will need:
Ight once you got those fresh ingredients here is what you will need to do in order to make this dankness. First, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Then, season chicken with salt and pepper. After, add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. After that step add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Stir until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, this will take about 1 minute.
