- Chicken Tarragon Soup with Orzo Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sticks celery, finely sliced
- ½ lemon, juice and zest
- 4 sprigs tarragon
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 2 chicken breasts, large
- 1 cabbage, small, finely sliced
- 200g orzo pasta
- 1 splash olive oil
Method
Step 1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the orzo for 8–10 minutes, or until just cooked. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In another large pan, heat a generous splash of oil over a low heat, and add the onion, garlic, celery and lemon zest. Strip the leaves from the tarragon (reserving them for garnishing), finely slice the stalks and throw these in too. Gently cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to soften the veg.
Step 3
Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts and poach for 10 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 5
Add the cabbage and simmer for a further 2 minutes until it begins to wilt.
Step 6
Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and return to the soup along with cooked orzo.
Step 7
Squeeze in a bit of lemon juice to taste, scatter over the torn tarragon leaves and serve with fresh crusty bread.
