Instructions

In a large pot or Instant Pot, sauté onions, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened.
Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Stir in the orzo (or zucchini noodles) and chicken.
Cook until the orzo is tender, about 8-10 minutes (2 minutes in Instant Pot on high pressure).
Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of cream or yogurt just before serving. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth and omit the chicken.
