    Creamy Chicken, Orzo and Mushroom Soup - A comforting meal that will fill you up. Ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish so you can get on with your day. 

    Creamy Chicken, Orzo and Mushroom in bowl with spoon

    I made this soup a couple of weeks ago and it was a pretty cold day. It felt so good to have a delicious cosy soup for lunch. Then I made it again yesterday and again it was devoured by all. 

    I think it’s safe to say that I’ve become a soup lover. I mean I have had a lot of it in the last month. I really never thought the day would come where I would actually enjoy soup. I used to really hate it. I just love it's simplicity, versatility, depth of flavours and how satisfied I feel after eating it.

    Here are some other soup recipes that have been on the blog:

    Cannellini Bean and Lemon Soup with Parmesan Crisps

    Herby Roasted French Onion Soup

    Greek Chicken, Rice and Vegetable Soup

    Pak Choy and chicken soup

    Moong daal soup

    Cream of Mushroom Soup with Tarragon - if you have made this or any cream of mushroom soup, this can be added to the creamy orzo, chicken and mushroom soup to really enhance the flavour.

    They are all yummy and all have their own unique selling points. Sorry I sound like a car sales person..I mean...do people really talk about soups like that? Lol.

    This is a beautiful creamy, flavour loaded soup that honestly tastes divine! It is a recipe that I have adapted from one of my aunts and you really should try it!

    I adore garlic sautéed mushrooms because they taste so so delicious and go with everything. I mean they work for breakfast, lunch and dinner right? I love them with burgers especially if there are also caramelised onions in there too. So I kinda knew that I would have to make that one of the steps for this soup because I was looking for a really earthy flavour.
