Soothing Rotisserie Chicken Soup (Nausea-Day Bowl)

Ingredients

• 4 oz shredded rotisserie chicken breast (skin removed)
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 small carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 celery stalk, finely diced
• 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• 2 tbsp orzo or pastina (optional)
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Steps

1. Warm broth in a small saucepan over medium heat with the smashed garlic clove and grated ginger until just steaming, about 4 minutes.
2. Add sliced carrot and celery, then simmer gently for 6 to 7 minutes until vegetables are fork-tender but not mushy.
3. Stir in the orzo if using and cook another 4 minutes until soft, then fish out and discard the garlic clove.
4. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and warm through for 2 minutes — do not boil, which toughens the meat.
5. Turn off heat, stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning very gently.
6. Ladle into a small mug or shallow bowl, top with parsley, and sip slowly over 15 to 20 minutes.
