Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a large covered pot over medium heat

2. Add cooked chicken, orzo, pesto, lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

3. Cook, uncovered, until orzo is al dente (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat.

4. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Note: I love orzo in this soup, but you can use any type of pasta you like!
