1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion
chopped
4 cloves garlic :
minced
4 celery stalk chopped fine
2 carrot :

1 red bell pepper -- chopped
8 cups fat-free chicken broth
2 cups shell pasta (small)

cubed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon peel grated
6 cups fresh spinach :
stems removed
salt and pepper -- to taste
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute. Add celery. carrots, pepper and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile cook pasta in large pot of boiling water, drain. (Note: I cook pasta in water rather than broth so the pasta won't soak up all my homemade broth,. If you want, add pasta to broth after 20 minutes, cook 10 minutes and go to step 3. You will probably need to add more broth or water to soup.)
3. Mix in pasta, chicken, lemon juice, peel and spinach. Cook until spinach just wilts. Season with salt and pepper.

Printable recipe ????:
Ingredients ????
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
2 small chicken breasts (7oz each)
8 cups flavorful chicken broth
2 sprigs rosemary
3-4 sprigs thyme
3-4 sage leaves
1.5 cups orzo
1/2 cup frozen peas
sea salt
pepper
1 juice of whole lemon
parsley
Instructions ✏️
1. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic.
2. Peel and dice carrots and wash and dice celery.
3. Preheat a large pot over medium heat, once hot add a splash of olive oil and then sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add diced vegetables and stir-fry until bright (about 5 minutes).
4. Add chicken breasts to pot and then pour broth over everything. Add herbs either loosely or in an herb infuser.
5. Bring everything to a boil and once boiling, put on the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken breasts are cooked through to 165F internal temperature.
6. Remove chicken breasts from the soup and place on a cutting board.
7. Add orzo to the broth and cook for about 10 minutes or until al dente.
8. In the meantime, take two forks and shred the chicken breasts. Once the pasta is cooked, add the chicken back into the soup to reheat for about 1 minute.
9. Add frozen peas (they will defrost immediately in the hot broth).
10. Remove the herb infuser, add lemon juice, and taste test to see if it needs more seasoning with sea salt and pepper (this will depend on how flavorful your broth was).
11. Serve in a bowl, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy!
