Greek Chicken and Orzo Soup

Makes four servings.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 cups chicken broth
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup orzo
2 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
directions
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring three to five minutes or until it starts to turn lightly brown. Add the broth, chicken and orzo. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for five minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the lemon juice. Stir about 2 tablespoons of the hot broth into the egg mixture to temper it. Gradually add the egg mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. Do not boil.

MOST IMPORTANT THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THE RECIPE SO TAKE CARE.
when adding the lemon and egg mixture DO NOT BOIL IT. remove the boiling pot of soup from the stove before addding the egg lemon mixture and then swirl the pot around to combine the soup and lemon egg mixture together. cover with lid and leave for a few minutes. if you boil it the eggs will curdle and youll end up with a mess.
SPECIAL TIP i add 1teaspoon of corn flour to the egg lemon mixture for a thicker soup.
goodluck

Answer 5

I made this (the first reciepe) last night because all my food is for Thanksgiving and I didn't have anything for dinner! It's excellent. I wasn't sure how it would get creamy, but the egg must've done it. I doubled the recipe, but I think it would have been plenty for 2 + seconds without doubling.
