  • lemon juice to taste

  • pinch chili flakes

Directions

  • Heat oil in a big pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to med-low and continue sauteeing until golden, 3-4 more minutes.

  • Add the chicken stock, water, salt, pepper, bay leaves and skinless chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, and lower heat so it’s gently simmering, covered for 20 mintues.

  • Test a piece of chicken for doneness by pulling meat apart with two forks. It should come apart easily and look opaque. When done, shred the rest of the chicken, then return to the pot and simmer gently for 5 more minutes.

  • Squeeze with lemon, taste, and adjust broth.

  • Ladle over cooked orzo

  • Garnish with scallions and parsley
