Chicken, Lime, Orzo, Soldier Soup

I just threw soldier in the title so I could post this picture of Ben.  I just like looking at him.  What can I say? I married a handsome guy!

Now for the rest of the ingredients!

In a large pot sautee 1 medium onion chopped, 1 finely chopped jalapeno chile pepper, 5 cloves finely chopped garlic & 1-1/2 Tblsp olive oil:

Ok ok so I just like taking pictures of food!  Seriously though doesn't it look pretty?

Next add 1lb of chopped chicken breast and sautee:

Meanwhile boil 3/4 cup of Orzo pasta in a separate pot and drain into a really cute strainer like mine:

Back to the big pot!  Hurry!!  Make sure you aren't burning that chicken!

Now add 1-1/4qts of chicken broth, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 can of diced tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes. 

Now you are ready to add your orzo pasta and a 1/4 cup chopped cilantro:

A delicious soup that cleanses the palate and refreshes the soul!!  Really it's like doing yoga for your taste buds!  I love it!!
