How to Make Tangy Greek Chicken Soup Crock Pot Or Not

  1. In a large pot or crockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat (if using stovetop). Brown the chicken pieces until lightly golden.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes (stovetop) or skip this step if using crockpot.
  3. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more (stovetop).
  4. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper.
  5. If using a crockpot, stir in the orzo pasta during the last hour of cooking. If using the stovetop, add the orzo pasta during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
  6. Bring to a boil (stovetop), then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. For crockpot, cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  7. Before serving, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and dill. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with extra lemon wedges if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
