CHICKEN SOUVLAKI SOUP
The first time I made this soup was when I had leftovers from dinner – chicken souvlaki, grilled red bell peppers, red onions, zucchini and orzo. I simply chopped up the chicken and vegetables and put them in a stockpot with chicken broth, orzo and some fresh spinach. Oh, and some dried oregano leaves and black pepper. I find that there is enough salt in the reduced sodium chicken broth that I don’t need to add any.
