Toasted Orzo Chicken Soup (topped with Aunt Lily’s Chili Oil)

Soups that don’t suck / episode 21

Something magical happens when you toast orzo in butter and it gets all golden and nutty. It brings such depth to this simple and cozy chicken soup, alongside the MVP of this recipe (AKA Aunt Lily’s Chili Oil) 🌶️

This is comforting and heartwarming and packs an absolute punch with flavour. It’s another easy one to make and all comes together in just over 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

1-2 chicken breasts or 3-4 chicken thighs
1 cup orzo
2 tbsp butter
4 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
Olive oil
½ onion, chopped
1-2 stalks of celery, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Juice of a lemon
Chives for garnish

For the Chili Oil:

½ cup red chili flakes
1.5 cups neutral oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp diced ginger
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 cinnamon stick

The full recipe is on my blog where you can print it out!

Italian broccoli Parmesan soup 🥦

SOUPS THAT DON’T SUCK / episode 70

I love how rustic and simple this one is, but it’s so full of flavour and feels light but somehow filling. don’t skip the olive oil drizzle and plenty of shaved parm at the end!

I have the full recipe on my blog, the only differences I made here were the stock, no garlic powder, and I chopped up the florets super fine and added them in right with the pasta.

comment SOUP and I’ll send you the recipe directly! xx

FRENCH ONION FALL

french onion pastina with crispy chicken thighs!

I love this dish so much. it doesn’t really get much cozier than this and the onions get deeply caramelized and finished with some balsamic. toasting the pastina first brings out some more nuttiness and then also taking your time on the chicken thighs to get that realllyyyy crispy skin is 100% worth it, promise.

send me all of your french onion faves - I am so excited for this mini fall series 🧅

full recipe is on the blog or you can comment FRENCH ONION and I’ll send it to ya directly xx

Chicken & rice tortilla soup

SOUPS THAT DON’T SUCK / episode 69

I love that this comes together in the pressure cooker so so quickly (if you don’t have a pressure cooker I have more instructions on the blog post so don’t fret!) the chicken gets so tender and then shredded and the soup base gets blended smooth.

the toppings really make this soup too, so serve over rice and don’t forget some avocado, tortilla strips, cilantro, lime and crema or sour cream.

you can print out the full recipe on my blog or comment SOUP and i’ll send it your way directly xx
