Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Orzo Soup

Nothing says comfort food louder than  Mom’s chicken soup. This leftover Rotisserie Chicken Orzo Soup tastes homey and only takes 15 minutes from start to finish.

Am always looking for ways to use rotisserie chicken.  This easy, quick chicken soup recipe doesn’t use the carcass, instead to keep it extra easy I used chicken stock.

The recipe starts with the trilogy of chicken soup making, carrots, celery and onion. Then, I saute the orzo pasta to add a little bite to this rice shaped pasta. And I only use the chicken breast only because it’s my personal preference. You can use any part of the chicken that fits your lifestyle and taste.

3 Variations For Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Orzo Soup

The first change you can make to this Leftover Rotisserie chicken is you can use the chicken legs if that’s what you like or a combination of both white and dark meat.

Second if your family cringes at spinach or anything that resembles it, this  chicken soup is so full of flavor you won’t miss anything by leaving it out.

And third if your using chicken stock it’s a good idea to use one that’s low in sodium, since most rotisserie chickens content high sodium levels.

Lastly this soup freezers well in freezer friendly containers. Sometimes I purposely double the recipe to freeze and  defrost when  I need a ready made meal.
