SOME THINGS TO KNOW:FAQ’S

INGREDIENT TIPS:

  • Capers add a briny, savory hit to all kinds of dishes, including signature caper recipes like chicken piccata. Read What are Capers and How Do You Use Them? to learn more about them.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

  • Large Pot
  • Whisk

SUBSTITUTIONS:

  • Shallots can be replaced with diced onions for a slightly different but equally delightful flavor.
  •  For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You could also use whipping cream. For a dairy-free option, coconut cream works well.
  • If you do not have orzo pasta, rice or small pasta shapes such as Ditalini can be used as a substitute.
  •  If capers are unavailable, green olives finely chopped can mimic the flavor of briny capers.
  • Fresh parsley can be used in place of the dried parsley flakes. Multiply the quantity by three when substituting fresh for dried. You could also use other fresh herbs like thyme or basil.
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil can be substituted for the olive oil.
  • The fresh clove of garlic can be replaced with a teaspoon of garlic powder.

HOW TO STORE CHICKEN PICCATA SOUP:

  • Store the soup in the refrigerator if you plan to consume it within 3-4 days. Allow the soup to cool to room temperature then place it into an airtight container.
  • You can freeze the soup for 2-3 months. Use airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags to prevent freezer burn. Leave about an inch of space at the top of the container or bag to allow for expansion as the soup freezes.
  • For best results, thaw the frozen soup in the refrigerator overnight.

HOW TO REHEAT CHICKEN PICCATA SOUP:

  • To reheat the soup on the stovetop ,place the soup into a large saucepan and reheat it on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
  • To reheat the soup in a microwave oven, place the soup into a microwave-safe container. Cover it with a microwave-safe lid. Reheat on high, stirring every minute or so, until the soup reaches the desired temperature.

Serves: 4 servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup shallots, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup capers
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the tablespoons butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and garlic is fragrant. Do not let them brown.

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, whisking constantly to create a roux. This will be the thickening agent for the  soup.

Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat.

Add the orzo pasta and cooked shredded chicken to the pot.

Lower the heat to medium low and let them simmer until the pasta is al dente. This will take 7-8 minutes.

Pour in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to incorporate.

Add capers and dried parsley flakes. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper.

Give it a final stir and let it simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors can meld.

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Enjoy your Chicken Piccata Soup!
