Nourishing Noodle Soup (Forks Over Knives)

There's a chill in the air this week so Chicken Noodle Soup sounded good Saturday night. The hubby doesn't like the traditional Reame's-style noodle or even the spaghetti-style noodle so I usually replace it with rice. This time I decided to try orzo pasta. I also like looking at other recipes for inspiration. Forks Over Knives magazine won the prize. I ended up modifying it with the following: replaced canned jackfruit with chicken (not a fan of canned ingredients); used green onions instead of chives; used orzo instead of linguine; used fresh lemon juice instead of zest. Yummo! This meal is definitely on the comfort food list without all the guilt. Super easy to make, especially if you cook the chicken in the same pot and just keep adding the ingredients over 20 minutes or so then let it cook for an hour. Can't wait for leftovers tonight. :)
