Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo

I love oh so many things about FALL.

The cooler weather, the  fall events (in Texas, people finally venture out to do non water related activities in the fall! ) and most of all…the FOOD!

Comfort food is my heart. If it’s warm and comforting, I like it.

Soup is no exception.

I have  posted many soup recipes over the past few years on my blogs:

One tip I learned on Food Network a few years ago has made a HUGE difference in how I make chicken soup nowadays!

Lemon!

A bit of lemon in chicken soup is amazing. Chicken soup is my favorite soup as a rule, but add lemon and it takes on a brightness that can’t really be described.

Which means you are just going to have to make this and eat it for yourself 😉
