Copycat Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

I fell in love with this seasonal soup last summer while it was at that famous fancy sandwich shop, and I was determined to recreate it. It’s an easy soup to make and it’s been a huge favorite in our house ever since. I make it almost weekly. Don’t tell that fancy sandwich shop, but I think this is actually better than theirs! Garnish with fresh lemon slices.

The name of “stew” can process to 2 time a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes not fast cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a flavorful water based . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces instead of being processing menu all of it , and the liquid all of it covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
