Chicken and Orzo Soup

This is a Pampered Chef recipe.  I have most of the stuff that Pampered Chef sells so making this soup shouldn't be difficult.  I haven't added a ton of new soup recipes recently.  I have been relying on a few old favorites...I currently have Italian Sausage Soup thawing for future lunches.

1/2 C. shopped onion
1 tsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried oregano
32oz. chicken broth
1 C. water
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
1/3 C. uncooked orzo
1 1/2 C. diced cooked chicken (I will probably season the chicken with my Greek seasoning)
1 C. chopped zucchini
1/3 C. chopped roasted red pepper
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Feta cheese and snipped parsley (optional)

Chop onion.  Heat oil in saucepan over medium high heat until hot.  Add onion, garlic, and oregano; cook and stir 3 minutes.  Add broth, water and black pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Stir in orzo; cook stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until orzo is tender.

Meanwhile, dice chicken.  Chop zucchini and red pepper.  Add chicken, zucchini and red pepper to broth.  Return to boil; cook 1 minute.  Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice.  Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with feta and parsley if desired.
