Chicken, Vegetable, Orzo Soup


This is my version of a Weight Watchers recipe I found.  I altered it a little because the original had some flavors I don't personally care for. However, at the end of this I will post what I left out so that you all can try it either way.  This recipe will make approximately 8 servings. I placed them in individual containers and stuck them in the freezer for future meals. This soup is quite delicious! 

Here's what you need:
8 Cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tsp salt 
1/2 tsp pepper
4 medium uncooked carrots cut up
1 Cup uncooked Orzo
2 Cups chopped skinless, boneless chicken breast

How you do it:
In a large pot combine chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. 

Add carrots and orzo and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered until orzo and veggies are tender (aprox 8-10min)

Stir in Chicken and cook until heated through. 

Serving size is approximately 1 1/4 cups.  

Hope you all enjoy. Remember to come back and tell us what you think in the comments.  Below are the ingredients that were left out that you can try.

** The ingredients left out of this recipe are:
1 medium uncooked fennel bulb thinly sliced or chopped - this is to be added with the carrots and orzo.
