3 tbsp olive oil

Kosher salt to taste

Preparation

1. Rinse and cut vegetables accordingly. Set to the side

2. Add olive oil with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to a large pot on medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add onion, celery, garlic and ginger to the pot. Stir frequently cooking until translucent (about 5 - 7 minutes)

3. Once translucent, add water, better than bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaves and chicken breast to the pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to simmer and cover - simmering for about 15 - 20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Once chicken is fully cooked, remove chicken from soup and shred.* Discard bay leaves.

4. Add lemon juice and orzo and simmer covered for about 10 - 12 minutes, until orzo is fully cooked. Return chicken to the soup and incorporate ingredients well.

*NOTES: Begin step 4 before shredding so you can shred while the orzo cooks
