Chicken Vegetable Orzo Soup

As the weather is cooling off, a warm bowl of soup is a comforting way to warm your insides. Today I made a pot of soup, the name never quite fit, it is a combination of southwestern and oriental flavors. Let me know if you come up with a better name :)

The recipe for my soup is as follows:

Chicken Vegetable Orzo Soup

Over medium heat cook the soup. Fill a pot 1/3 full with water add 3 c. chicken (cooked and diced), 1 pkg. frozen oriental vegetables, 1 red pepper (diced), 2 c. corn, 2 c. black beans, 2 T. chicken base, 1/4 c. soy sauce, 2 t. cumin, 2 t. onion powder, salt and pepper to taste, allow to simmer about 30 minutes. Before serving add 3 c. baby spinach leaves. Stir soup until spinach wilts and serve.

Serve in a bowl with fresh croutons.

I hope you enjoy this soup. It is quite hearty.
