Ingredients

• • 100 grams Chicken breast (cut into small pieces)
• • 1 piece Carrot (cut into small cubes)
• • 1 piece Zucchini (cut into small cubes)
• • 2 tablespoon Orzo vermicelli
• • 1 piece Onion (small, finely chopped)
• • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• • 4 cup Hot water
• • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

2. 2

   Add the chicken cut into small pieces and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until it changes colour.

3. 3

   Add the carrot and zucchini cubes and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly.

   Pour in the hot water; once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and cook for 15-18 minutes until the chicken and vegetables are very tender.

5. 5

   Add the orzo vermicelli and cook, stirring now and then, for another 6-8 minutes until the vermicelli is completely soft.

6. 6

   Take off the heat; before serving, make sure the soup is lukewarm and that the chicken and vegetables are very soft and in small bites (leave no large or hard pieces, to avoid choking).

7. 7

   Sprinkle the finely chopped parsley on top and serve to your child under supervision.
