This lemon chicken orzo soup light and healthy yet super comforting. It is a such a simple soup to make. I would not be surprised if you put it in regular rotation. The soup has a bright lemony broth and is packed with chicken Italian sausage meatballs, orzo pasta, cannellini beans, and kale. I guess you could call this a chicken noodle soup, but just like my Thai Red Curry Chicken & Noodle soup there is nothing ordinary about this one.

Thai Red Curry Chicken & Noodle Soup

This Thai red curry soup is packed with so much flavor. I can’t take full credit for the idea though. A friend told me that she loves any soup with red chili paste, coconut milk and noodles. My mind immediately went to Thai red curry paste, and I was determined to make a soup with it. I wanted the broth to be light, but there to be some hearty ingredients. It incorporates the 5 main Thai flavors: salty, sweet, spicy, sour, and creamy. This isn’t a traditional Thai soup by any means but rather one inspired by flavors commonly found in Thai cuisine which I absolutely love.

They are characterized by being thick and creamy and containing large chunks of meat or seafood and vegetables, usually potatoes. This recipe contains most of the elements of a traditional chowder except it isn’t so thick. It is on the lighter side as it does not call for a roux, but does still use heavy cream.
