Instructions

Step 1

Sauté white onion, carrot and garlic, in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. After about 5 minutes, add uncooked orzo

Step 2

Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, dill, parsley, and salt & pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 30 min

Step 3

Once the soup is done and the chicken is cooked through, set aside 1 cup of hot broth and slowly add it to your egg yolks (1 tbsp at a time) while whisking vigorously. This prevents the eggs from scrambling when you add it to the soup!

Step 4

Remove the chicken, shred it and add back in with the juice from the lemons and the egg yolk mixture.

Step 5

Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fresh parsley and dill and drizzle with a little olive oil
