- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the white leek and onion for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Add the chicken, stock and 1/2 the lemon. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the green leek and orzo and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no pink meat remains and the orzo is al dente.
- Remove the lemon and discard. Season the soup to taste and shred the chicken using 2 forks. Cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges and serve with the soup, to squeeze over.
