Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Recipe
After the second round of illness hit our home, I knew it was time for some soup. Rather than a traditional chicken noodle soup recipe, I decided to make a lemon chicken orzo soup because it felt a little more spring-like and perfect for those darn springtime sniffles.
Unfortunately for my husband it is was more than a case of the sniffles. He was sick the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday) with high fever, sniffles, and a bad cough. Then he was fine during the week, only to catch the same thing again the following weekend.
Only this time it was worse. This lemon chicken soup was one of the few foods he could keep down, so I was extra thankful to have a big batch of it on hand!

How to Make Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
The steps for this chicken orzo soup recipe are simple. Here are the basic steps to making this easy soup recipe:
- Cook and shred the chicken. I’ve included pressure cooker instructions in the recipe card below.
- Once the chicken is cooked, make the soup.
- First, sauté the onion and garlic in an oiled Dutch oven until softened.
- Add the wine, broth, and carrots and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the egg yolks, orzo, and chicken. Cook until pasta and carrots are tender.
- Add fresh thyme, parsley, and spinach just before serving.
Can I Omit the Egg Yolk?
A few readers have asked about omitting the egg yolks due to egg allergies. The yolks give the broth a yellow color, but you can omit them if needed.

Tips for Making Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
These days I start any recipe — including this chicken orzo soup — with shredded chicken in the pressure cooker, similar to this CrockPot or Pressure Cooker Mexican Chicken.
You can also use a CrockPot, but that requires more time and some planning ahead. I love how pressure cookers allow me to speed things up in the kitchen. When I’m really in a rush, I don’t thaw the chicken breast first, I just put it frozen in the pressure cooker and add about 5-10 minutes to the cook time.
I know some people find pressure cookers intimidating, so I thought I’d share a couple of quick tips for first-time users:
Related: Review of the Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker.
Don’t Overfill the Cooker
Pressure Cookers typically come with marks on the inside indicating 1/2 and 2/3 full markings. Because foods expand when cooked, pressure cookers should be fill at most 1/2 full for foods and 2/3 full for liquids.
Recipe Liquids
Pressure Cookers require less liquid than traditional recipes because less liquid evaporates, but you will never want to use less liquid that recommended in a recipe built specifically for pressure cookers.
Heat Level
The trickiest part of pressure cooker cooking for me is the heat level. It takes a few times to know what temperature range you want your stove on to maintain the pressure required in your recipe.
If the pressure builds too high, simply turn the heat down. Newer models typically have built in safety mechanisms to auto-release steam so you don’t have to worry about explosive pressure cookers but you don’t want to over-cook your food.
Likewise, if you need the pressure to be higher just turn the heat up.
Cook Time
For recipes like this shredded chicken, begin by bringing the mixture to a boil without the lid on. Then, secure the lid and bring the cooker to the proper pressure (whatever the recipe calls for). Don’t start the cook time until you’ve achieved that pressure.
Releasing Pressure
Be careful when you are opening your cooker after cooking. Please make sure that the pressure has been completely released before opening it.
On my cooker it takes about 10 minutes for the pressure to release by itself (i.e. just sitting there off of the burner) before it is safe to open it, however models may vary. My cooker also has a fast release button if I need to speed things up.
A good rule of thumb is if the lid gives you resistance when you try to open it: it is not ready yet, there is still a build up of pressure inside. Additionally, be sure to tilt the lid away from your face as there will be steam escaping when you open the lid.
How Can I Prepare this Soup without a Pressure Cooker?
To Make this Lemon Chicken Soup without a pressure cooker is simple! Instead of cooking the chicken in a pressure cooker, prepare the chicken in a crockpot or use chicken from a store-bought rotisserie chicken or homemade roasted whole chicken.

Nothing beats a steaming bowl of Slow Cooker Ham Soup with Potatoes and Kale on a cold day. This is a great recipe to make with leftover Thanksgiving or Christmas ham!
When in doubt, whip up a batch of Beefy Kidney Bean Chili. It’s winter comfort food at its finest!

Lemon Chicken and Orzo Soup
Rather than a traditional Chicken Noodle Soup recipe I decided to make a Lemon Chicken and Orzo Soup because it felt a little more spring-like and perfect for those darn springtime sniffles. You'll enjoy this one no matter the weather.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb. chicken (I like boneless, skinless breasts)
- 1 stalk celery, cut into thirds
- half of a lemon, sliced
- handful of fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
For the soup:
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 3 carrots, sliced into rounds
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup orzo pasta, uncooked
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 - 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 - 3 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach, chopped
Instructions
For the chicken:
- Combine all the ingredients in a 5-liter pressure cooker. If the chicken is frozen, that is okay. Bring the mixture to a boil. Secure the lid and bring to high pressure. Once high pressure is achieved, cook for 20 minutes (for thawed) or 30 minutes (for frozen chicken).
- Remove from heat and let pressure release completely before opening the lid. Let the chicken cool until it is cool enough to handle. Shred and set aside.
For the Soup:
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive or canola oil in a large dutch oven. Saute the onion over medium-high heat until golden and tender. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
- Add the white wine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and carrot. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and lemon together. Add 1 cup of hot broth from the dutch oven very slowly to the egg yolk mixture, whisking as you pour. Then, transfer the mixture to the dutch oven. Stir in the orzo and chicken.
- Continue cooking over medium-low until the pasta and carrots are tender. Just before serving, season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the thyme, parsley, and spinach. Serve immediately.

As for Westminster Crackers, a friend brought me a box of them a few months ago as a hostess gift (part of a basket she made just for li’l ol’ me) and I fell. in. love.
The rounds tasted just like my favorite soda cracker – something I had only just recently given up after realizing it had high fructose corn syrup in it. I’ve been on the lookout for Westminster Crackers ever since. No HFCS? I LOVE IT.

I was wondering is there is an alternative for cooking the chicken if you dont have a pressure cooker? I have a crock pot. Could i use that somehow or maybe just cook the chicken differently all together?
gail says
I also do not have a pressure cooker. I do have a crock pot but that would take too long. I put the all the same ingredients for the chicken (minus the thyme which I did not have) in a medium size pot. I cooked it on medium for about 20 minutes – covered). Took off cover and when it was cool I shredded the chicken. I strained the cooking broth and used it as part of the 6 cups of chicken stock for the soup.; So very good.
