Slow cooker lemon chicken orzo soup. This delicious lemon chicken orzo soup is a hearty, flavorful meal for a cold day. With fresh vegetables and herbs, this soup is not only nourishing but also easy to make!

A lot of people might say that one meal doesn’t go with the other, but I disagree. I happen to think lemon and chicken are better than peanut butter and jelly.

Can I use frozen vegetables to make this recipe?

This recipe also works well with frozen vegetables, but the final texture might not be as nice.

Is lemon chicken orzo soup healthy?

The answer to this question is not as straightforward as it seems. While some would argue that the soup is healthy because it contains vegetables, others would disagree and say that the soup is unhealthy because of its high sodium content.

The key to answering this question lies in understanding what kind of ingredients go into making lemon chicken orzo soup. The first thing to understand about this soup is that it has a lot of carbohydrates and salt in it. This means that for those who are looking for something healthy, this soup might not be the best option.
