Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup baby carrots, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
- 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
- 4 cups bone broth

- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup orzo
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 1 lemon, juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a large pot (I love my dutch oven for this) on medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, minced garlic, and dried herbs, and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add bone broth, water, and bay leaves, simmer on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
- Mix in the shredded chicken and orzo and simmer for 10 minutes, until the orzo is tender. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then remove the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot with your favorite toasted bread.

Notes
- You can use 1.5 cups of orzo if you want a thicker, heartier soup.
