So let's chop up the usual: onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeño, celery.

Fry up & brown the chicken with cumin and chili powder (in this case, smoked Serrano) Remove.

Cook the veggies.

Deglaze with red wine; cook for a couple of minutes to get some of the alcohol out.

While you're waiting, make some orzo (rice-shaped pasta).

To plate, put some orzo in the bottom of the bowl, ladle on some of the soup, and garnish with lime juice & parsley.
