Broccoli Kale Orzo Soup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup orzo
  • 12 oz frozen broccoli
  • 1 chopped yellow onion
  • 1 lb pre-cooked shredded chicken I like to use rotisserie chicken
  • 5-6 cups chicken broth depends on how thick you want the soup
  • 1 cup chopped kale I use frozen
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • seasonings something salty with a kick: creole, cajun, chipotle, paprika with chili and garlic powder, any of these are great options, use what you have on hand

Instructions
 

  • Sauté broccoli and onion in big pot with a little oil until broccoli is not frozen
  • Add 2 cups of chicken broth and continue to cook until broccoli is soft
  • Pour broccoli and broth into blender and blend until big chunks are gone but not too thin (You can also use an immersion blender instead of a normal blender)
  • Pour back in pot and add chicken, kale, orzo, rest of broth, and seasonings (I use southwest chipotle, garlic powder, smoked paprika, a little salt, mesquite seasoning, and parsley)
  • Once orzo is mostly cooked add whipping cream, feta cheese, and more broth and seasonings if necessary
