Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

 1 T. olive oil

2-3 cups rotisserie chicken (I use Costco rotisserie)

kosher salt and black pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

3 carrots, peeled and diced

2 celery ribs, diced

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

5 cups chicken broth

2 bay leaves

3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta

1 spring rosemary

juice of 1-2 lemons

Heat 1 T. olive oil in a Dutch oven. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk in chicken broth, bay leaves and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Stir in orzo, rosemary and chicken; reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste.
