16 ingredients

1. 6 servings pepper
2. 1 large carrots
3. 2 cups poached chicken
4. 6 servings crackers
5. 3 green onions
6. 1 tsp ground turmeric
7. 6 servings kosher salt
8. 2 tbsps lemon juice
9. 1/2 tsps lemon zest
10. 4 cups chicken broth

12. 1/2 cups orzo pasta
13. 1/2 cups peas
14. 1 large stalks of celery

16. 1/2 cups onion

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot or dutch oven over medium-low heat.
2. Add in the sliced carrots, celery and diced onions with a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in the turmeric before adding in the orzo, broth and water. Bring to a simmer and cook the pasta until al dente or about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Next add in the diced chicken, lemon zest and juice. Stir and then add in the peas, green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Heat thoroughly before ladling into bowls or mugs.
6. Serve with crackers.
