Tips and Substitutes
- Don't overcook the orzo (it keeps absorbing liquid)
- We love the leftovers of this soup, but it does tend to thicken as it sets in the fridge. I recommend adding a splash of chicken broth to the bowl when you reheat leftovers.
- Add spinach, onions, or peas
- Swap chicken for leftover turkey
- Make it gluten-free by using rice instead of orzo
