Share a Spoon - Soup's on!

Today's theme over at the Think Tank is SOUP! While it's still hot and humid here, I'm still preparing for the cooler weather by collecting (aka 'pinning') soup recipes!  (and a mild pumpkin obsession has begun again, see yesterday's post)

The only soup I've made so far this year, is one I've shared before (it's my favorite, and I make it pretty regularly).  This time I did things a little different, in that I had cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot - along with some carrots, celery and onion.  After the chicken was done, I pulled the meat (actually, it just fell off) the bone, put the bones back in the crockpot with the veggies, seasonings, chicken 'juices' (ewww) and water, and let it cook a while.  Then I strained it, and put the broth in the fridge to cool.  After it cooled, I scraped all the fat off the top (ewww again), and then I had a rich, flavorful, chicken broth.  I used the broth, along with some of the leftover chicken, and made this soup.
Chicken, Basil and Orzo Soup
Sadly, I'm all out of fresh basil :*(

However, I have several more soup recipes on my wish list (aka Pinterest)

    I'm making two types of soup {corn chowder and chicken enchilada} for our couples group Sunday. I'm glad the temp. is supposed to drop! BTW, extremely jelly about "pinning!" What's a girl gotta do to get an invite?!

    I love soups of all kinds! The wild rice one is pretty good. I'm going to have to try the healthy Ramen noodle one.

    Soup is so seductive on cold nights; I'm just waiting for the humidity and heat to back off so I can finally get busy with some new recipes! Looks delicious.
