Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion
6 ounces baby spinach
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup orzo, cooked according to package directions (or other small shape pasta)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch or two of ground nutmeg to taste

Instructions

Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the onion and spinach and cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Remove saucepan from the heat. Add the chicken broth and puree the mixture either right in the saucepan with an immersion (stick) blender or in batches in a traditional blender.
Return the spinach broth mixture to the saucepan and add the pasta, chicken, lemon juice, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until hot, about 5 minutes more.

5 PointsPlus (Old plan)

This soup calls for chopped cooked chicken breast. I like to keep cooked chicken breast on hand, either in the fridge or freezer, for quick and easy meals. You could always substitute rotisserie chicken breast.

You will also need 1/2 cup orzo, or some other small pasta shape, cooked according to package directions just until it is al dente, with a bit of chew left so it isn't mushy in your soup.
