Lemon Chicken and Orzo Soup

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Greek lemon chicken and orzo soup 🍋✨ tangy and creamy with tons of fresh herbs! I used rotisserie chicken which makes this recipe super fast and easy 🙌🏼 I also cooked the orzo on the side so that it doesn't get soggy in the soup, but feel free to add it straight in if you prefer 😊

Ingredients

• 1 Tbs Butter
• 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Onion, diced small
• 8 Cups Chicken Broth
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Pepper
• 2 Springs Fresh Thyme
• 2 Cups Rotisserie Chicken, shredded
• 6 Egg Yolks
• 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
• 1 Cup Orzo
• 2 Tbs Chives, chopped
• 2 Tbs Fresh Dill, chopped

Instructions

1. Sauté garlic and onions in butter until onions are translucent (3-4 min); add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme and bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 10 minutes
2. Beat the egg yolks and lemon juice in a separate bowl and then slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot soup while whisking constantly
3. Add the egg mixture into the soup and mix until broth is creamy yellow
4. Add the chicken (and the orzo if you're not cooking it on the side), bring to a boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes
5. Turn off the heat, remove the thyme, and stir in the chives and dill - enjoy!

Notes:

🌱Vegetarian Modification: Sub in extra veggies (celery, carrots, mushrooms, potato) instead of chicken
