Lemon and dill give this Greek-inspired soup a fresh, bright note. It’s a simple yet tasty way to enjoy Mediterranean flavors and use up leftover cooked chicken. Stir in the quick-cooking orzo, a small-shaped pasta that has a grain-like appearance, during the last 8 to 10 minutes of cooking. Because this recipe makes a big batch, it’s perfect to make for an impromptu casual gathering. Accompany with a Greek salad and warm pita bread for a full meal.
