Chicken & Orzo Broth
Ingredients
Method
-
First, prepare the salsa verde. Place all the ingredients in the jug of a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and set to one side to allow the flavours to develop.
To make the soup, place a large cast iron pan over a moderate heat. Add a little oil and gently fry the onion, celery and carrot. Cook until the vegetables have softened and then add the garlic.
Add the chicken, thyme, bay leaf, pure chicken broth and water. Bring to a gentle simmer and add the orzo pasta and beans. Return to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or so, until the pasta is tender. Add the spring greens for the final 3 minutes of cooking.
Serve in warmed bowls finished with a spoonful of salsa verde and chunks of really good crusty bread.
