Avgolemono, Orzo & Chicken Soup

By

This creamy soup is a delicious and healthy favorite of mine (without a drop of cream or dairy!). The lemon and dill flavors are great for summer. Alternatively, when I am feeling sickly, it peps me up- a zippy version of chicken soup, with lots of vitamin C from the lemon.

Preparation

Step 1

Bring broth and dill to a boil in a large saucepan. Add orzo. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until orzo is slightly tender. Remove from heat.

Place eggs and juice in a blender; process until smooth. Remove 1 cup broth from pan with a ladle, making sure to leave out orzo. With blender on, slowly add broth; process until smooth.

Add carrot, salt, pepper, and chicken to pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook 5 minutes or until chicken and orzo are done. Reduce heat to low. Slowly stir in egg mixture; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly (do not boil).
