It’s almost time for the Super Bowl and one of our favorite game day (or ANY day) snacks is french onion dip! This protein-packed dip is full of flavor, but with a healthy twist! Typical french onion dip recipes call for sour cream or cream cheese and boring store-bought onion soup mix packets. We are using cottage cheese and Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and caramelizing fresh chopped onions for maximum flavor!

Why You’ll Love This

• This french onion dip is rich, creamy and packed with over 12 grams of protein per serving!
• Taking the time to caramelize the onions is a total game changer in this recipe (trust me, it’s worth the extra time!)
• The ingredients all come together right in your blender for the most creamy and delicious whipped dip.
• Much healthier than most dips out there and also tastes delicious on sandwiches, wraps, pasta salads or even salads!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• cottage cheese – this serves as the base of the dip and packs in so much protein! I used whole milk cottage cheese.
• Greek yogurt – this adds a creamy texture and even more protein, but you could also use full-fat sour cream or mayonnaise in place of the yogurt.
• butter – this is used to caramelize the onions, but you could also use olive oil in place of butter.
• onions – you’ll need 2 large sweet white onions or 3 to 4 small to medium yellow onions.
• white wine vinegar – this is used to deglaze the pan while the onions are cooking and loosen up all those delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan!
• beef base – this adds flavor and beautiful coloring to this dip (I used Better than Bouillon beef base).
• Worcestershire sauce – adds some umami flavor and richness to this dip.
• fresh herbs – I mixed fresh parsley into the dip and sprinkled fresh chives on top at the end.
• spices – a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. You could also make this spicy by adding in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

How to Make French Onion Dip

1. Caramelize the onions. In medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until softened. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and continue cooking the onions for 20 to 25 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally, until onions are a deep golden brown and very caramelized. Add the white wine vinegar and continue to cook 5 more minutes, then remove from heat.
2. Blend the ingredients. In a blender or food processor, add in the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, beef base, Worcestershire, onion powder, salt and pepper and blend on high until fully mixed and super creamy.
3. Add in the onions and parsley. Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to a serving bowl and fold in the caramelized onions and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with chives on top or you can cover and chill in the fridge until serving.

Prepping and Storage

This caramelized french onion dip recipe keeps well in the fridge for 5 days, in a sealed, airtight container.  In fact, this leftover dip only gets more flavorful as the flavors meld, so you can easily bring it out for a great snack for several days.  I highly recommend making a double batch of this recipe ahead of time as this is a huge crowdpleaser and I promise this dip will go quickly!

Hello soup season! There is nothing better than a cozy soup on a chilly day and this lemony chicken orzo soup recipe checks all the boxes! Healthy, flavorful and I just love how the orzo soaks up all this delicious lemony herby flavor so leftovers taste even better the next day. Think classic chicken noodle soup, but with a twist! This is a great recipe the whole family loves and it always hits the spot whenever someone has a cold or is feeling under the weather.

Why You’ll Love This

• Bright lemony broth that makes this soup so cozy!
• Healthy, packed with veggies, tender orzo pasta and shredded chicken.
• Easily made in just 30 minutes.
• You only need to use one pot which makes cleaning up a breeze.
• Great for meal prep because leftover soup tastes better the next day!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• onion, carrots and celery – makes the perfect savory base for soups.
• olive oil – I like to use a good extra virgin olive oil that doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor (in my opinion). You could also use melted butter in place of the oil if you prefer.
• garlic – fresh minced garlic this really punches up the flavor and is a must in this soup!
• chicken broth – I used low-sodium chicken broth, but you could also use vegetable broth or any stocks you have in your pantry.
• chicken – I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts that cook right in the soup, but skinless chicken thighs would work as well. You could also use shredded rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken or turkey you may have on hand to save some time.
• orzo – orzo pasta is small, rice-shaped pasta that cooks quickly and has the magical ability of soaking up all these delicious flavors! If you don’t have orzo, any type of small pasta or even rice will work in this dish.
• leafy greens – I added in kale which packs in the antioxidants, vitamin C and other nutrients good for your health along with some fresh parsley. Fresh spinach makes a great addition as well.
• fresh lemon juice + zest – this brightens up the soup and adds so much fresh flavor.
• seasonings – combination of dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt and black pepper. Italian seasoning works great too.

How to Make Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

The great thing about this lemon chicken soup is that everything comes together in just 30 minutes in just a few simple steps!  Here’s how I make it:

• Sauté the veggies.  Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat and sauté yellow onion, celery and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add in the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
• Let the soup simmer.  Stir in the chicken broth, chicken and seasonings and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
• Add in the orzo. Add in the orzo and cook for an additional 10 minutes on medium heat, until the orzo is al dente and chicken is tender enough to shred.
• Mix in kale and lemon.  Remove the chicken and cut it up or shred it, return it back into the pot along with the lemon juice, lemon zest and kale leaves (or baby spinach leaves). Give everything a good mix.
• Serve and enjoy! Ladle soup into bowls, top with fresh parsley, a little parmesan cheese and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

Prepping and Storage

To Store:  Leftover lemon chicken orzo soup will last in your fridge in a sealed, airtight container for up to 5 days.  You may find that the orzo will soak up a lot of the broth as the soup sits, but you can easily add more broth as needed when re-heating.

To Freeze:  If planning to freeze, first let the soup cool completely and then store it in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months.  When ready to enjoy, let the soup thaw completely in the fridge.  Warm it up in a pot on the stove or re-heat individual servings in the microwave.
