Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup with Kale

I love this soup but it needs twice the amount of broth! I made it twice and love it! It needs 8 cups of broth!

This was really easy to make and good! However for us, squeezing juice from a whole lemon was a bit over powering. Next time I only squeeze half and maybe a bit less orzo, or more both.
Will make again!

I love soup and this is a fantastic recipe. It's quick and easy to make. The chicken chunks, kale and orzo make it hearty, and the burst of lemon and lemon zest gives it zip. It's SO tasty!! If you have left-overs, add some more lemon, which tends to lose its kick the next day.

Absolutely delicious as well as fast and easy to prepare. I made this soup last night and it came together quickly. I wasn’t sure about the lemon zest and juice but it was perfect. So vibrant and yummy!

Easy and flavor was very good but the orzo soaked up all the broth and became a gelatinous mass next day. I would cook the orzo separately or omit it altogether. There's enough in the soup to be good without it.

Fast and easy with a cooked all day taste. We loved this soup so much we cooked a big batch and are set for the week. Soup for lunch it is!

This soup is so good! Reminds me of Greek lemon orzo soup. It only made 5 bowls though. This soup is very lemony and good if you like lemon but if you aren’t a big lemon person I definitely would tell you to do less lemon then. Overall a good soup and will make again!

I’m a soup lover and this recipe did not disappoint! I did alter the recipe a bit, as I don’t care for kale and I didn’t want the orzo to soak up the broth. I doubled the broth, used only half a lemon and substituted spinach for the kale. Excellent!

Easy, tasty, and big thumbs up from family!

I've made this several times now. Great reviews every time and a good way to get some kale into your diet (you don't really taste it, in my opinion). The lemon adds a nice zing. Leftovers heat up well too!

I did not add the lemon to it. I used baby spinach not kale. I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us. I was quick and easy. We both enjoyed it. I will make it again.

Overall, really good flavor. It was the perfect light lunch to bring to work. I followed the recipe exactly, except, I packed the kale when measuring it, and found it to be a lot of kale, so I ended up adding a few cups more of broth. I froze it without the orzo, and found it froze well. Plan to make again!
