Greek Lemon Chicken (aka Avgolemono) Soup

Most people have grown up with chicken noodle soup and would consider it a comfort food.  I was looking for something different and came across this recipe from AllRecipes.  The ingredient list is long, it makes a big batch, and it can seem intimidating to make.  I have developed a simpler, shorter recipe with shortcut ingredients that makes this a convenient weeknight dinner. 

Ingredients

1 box (32 oz.) Chicken Broth (low sodium preferred)

1 can (14 oz.) Cream of Chicken Soup

1/2 Cup Orzo Noodles

juice from one lemon

Combine broth and Cream of Chicken soup, and blend with whisk until combined.  Cook over medium heat until simmering.  Add orzo while stirring and cook until tender.  Finish off with lemon juice and enjoy.  This end up being brothy comfort that goes great with your favorite bread. 

Optional Ingredients

1 16 oz. package frozen mixed veggie (carrots, peas, corn, green beans) blend

1-2 Cups Cooked Chicken breast (from rotisserie chicken)

Add either or both of these ingredients for a nutritious family meal.  Cook until heated up and enjoy.
