This is a very tasty soup that is easy to put together! I made 2 servings and they are quite generous! I used organic chicken broth and chose orzo for the pasta. I took off 1 star for a couple of reasons that have nothing to do with flavour - it is really hard to get rid of all the 'floaties' from cooking the chicken in the broth, even with using a fine mesh spoon. I also cooked everything for much less time (15 minutes for step 1 and 1 hour for step 3) and my veggies still turned out mushy. I will make this again, but with a couple of minor adjustments. Made for my adopted chef for this round of Pick A Chef. Thanks Chef Larz! :)
