Tip- Adjusting Lemon Flavor - I made a few rounds with the suggested lemon zest also and as a lemon fan really enjoyed the extra punch of lemon flavor it can give the soup. You can easily adjust the amount of fresh lemon juice and zest in this soup to your own tastes.
I originally made this as a copycat Panera lemon chicken orzo soup recipe. My kid really enjoyed that soup, and we decided to make our own version for our table at home. It's way less expensive to make it yourself, and pretty easy recipe to make.
Expect this soup to last for about three days in the refrigerator if stored in a covered airtight container.
This lemon chicken orzo soup recipe can be frozen, but I recommend adding the spinach after defrosting for best results.
This soup will thicken on the second day. Expect to add a little water when reheating leftover soup the next day or defrosting frozen soup as the orzo will expand and absorb some of the broth.
