LEMON CHICKEN SOUP WITH ORZO

Steps:

• Heat large soup pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic. Saute until fragrant and tender, about 10 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the garlic.)
• Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the orzo and cook for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the chicken and remove from heat.
• Whisk the eggs and lemon juice together in a small bowl. The idea here is to warm up the egg mixture slowly (without scrambling the eggs). Slowly add a scoop of the soup into the egg mixture. Then add your warmed egg mixture back to the soup pot - slowly, slowly, slowly, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy.
• Finish by stirring in your spinach, salt, pepper, and dill and adjust seasonings to taste!

LEMON CHICKEN ORZO SOUP

Steps:

• Sauté the celery, carrots, and onions in a large soup pot with the butter and oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the flour and cook for another minute or so.
• Pour in chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved, then add the Italian seasoning and chicken. Bring the soup to a boil.
• Cover the soup (lid slightly ajar), and reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the orzo and cook for another 10 minutes or until the orzo is cooked through. I keep the lid off and stir it fairly often because it tends to stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Take the chicken out of the pot and cut it up, then add it back in. Add the lemon juice (you may want to add more than I suggest - I didn't want to make the soup too lemony for some people), parsley, and season the soup with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
