This Slow Cooker Greek Lemon Chicken Soup is perfect for when you need a cozy, flavorful soup with minimal effort! It's low-fuss, comforting, and full of fresh, zesty flavors.
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, oregano, and thyme. Cook for one minute, until nice and fragrant. If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes here as well.
Step 2
Add this mixture to the slow cooker along with the chicken, chicken broth, and bay leaves. Cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 3
Remove the chicken and chop or shred. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker along with the orzo and lemon juice. Turn the heat to high and cook for 15-30 minutes until the orzo is nice and tender, stirring as needed so the orzo doesn’t stick.
