Lemon Ginger Orzo & Chicken Soup
If Spring and healing were a soup – this would be this one! Ginger and bone broth just warm the soul and bring so many healing qualities to your body.
The ginger, lemon and bone broth are perfect together to make this soup light yet filling and rich in flavors. When the chicken is cooked in the broth it gives the soup great flavor.
Leeks and celery should be in every soup – I just can’t quit using them in every soup I make.
Add in fresh dill and extra black pepper at the end is just what the soup needs.
I used Bone Broth in this recipe
