4. 4. Add orzo pasta and cook according to package directions until tender, stirring occasionally.

5. 5. Stir in chopped or shredded cooked chicken and heat through.

6. 6. Add 1-2 cup water as needed for desired soup consistency. Stir in heavy cream and heat gently (do not boil).

7. 7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, herbs, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with bread and optional pesto on the side.

Notes

Using pulled rotisserie chicken or shredded cooked chicken breasts will add great texture and flavor to the soup.

Start with the recommended amounts of heavy cream and water, then adjust to your desired level of creaminess and soup thickness.

Experiment with different herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, to customize the flavor profile. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to restore the desired consistency.
