1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Medium Chopped Yellow Onion
5 cloves Garlic, Minced
7 cups Chicken Broth
1-1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 Tablespoon Ground Turmeric
Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cooked And Shredded
1 cup Dried Orzo Pasta
1/3 cups Fresh Lemon Juice
1-1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
5 cups (packed) Kale, Roughly Chopped (I Used Lacinato Kale)

1
Heat olive oil in a large enameled dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and saute 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 more minute, until fragrant.
2
Pour in chicken broth, oregano, and turmeric, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded chicken breasts to the pot and bring to a simmer.
3
Add orzo, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes, until orzo is al dente.
4
Add lemon juice, lemon zest and kale, and heat through. Serve warm. As soup rests, the pasta will absorb the broth so you can as a little more broth as desired if you're eating leftovers.
