½ medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Recipe Directions
In a Dutch Oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the celery, carrots, and onions, then sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the flour and cook for another minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved, then add the Italian seasoning and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil.
Cover the soup slightly, leaving some room for steam to escape. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid, add orzo, stir and cook for another 10 minutes or until the orzo is cooked through. Stir occasionally.
Remove chicken from Dutch oven and shred, then add back to Dutch oven. Add lemon juice, parsley, and season the soup with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
