  5. Once vegetables are almost ready: I pushed them to the side added a little oil and cooked chicken *seasoned with Pepper, Salt & Cumin.
  6. Once outside of chicken is cooked: I pulled it off, cut it into smaller pieces and returned it to the pan.
  7. Add half of the stock to the pan, and let simmer.
  8. Once Orzo is done cooking (about 18 minutes) remove excess water [we used the lid method as orzo is too small for our colander]

  10. Add remaining Stock, Fresh Basil, more Cumin to taste
  11. Heat & add cornstarch mixture to slightly thicken.

Sounds very flavorful and absolutely delish. I like the way you do the chicken too. Never used orzo, but other starchy foods in soups break down a bit and exude thickeners in the broth. (I just put on a nice warm sock. soup weather is here!!) thank you for a deluxe recipe! 555555555555555555555555
