Step 1
Trim the leeks and slice them lengthwise. Remove any tough outer leaves, then slice into half moons. Put them in a large bowl of cold water and give it a good swish. Any dirt will sink to the bottom and you can then gently scoop the leeks out to drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Trim and slice the celery, and shred your chicken.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy soup pot until hot. Add the garlic and ginger and saute over medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Don't let the garlic brown.
Step 4
Add the leeks and celery to the pot and saute, stirring often, for a few minutes, until the leeks soften.
Step 5
Add the stock and chicken to the pan. Bring up to a simmer and then add the orzo. Gently simmer until the orzo is just tender.
Step 6
Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Then add lemon juice to taste. Start with a tablespooon and go from there.
Step 7
Stir in the fresh dill and serve immediately.
