Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups stock to a boil. Add orzo; cook until al dente, 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
- Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup water. Heat remaining 2 cups stock until hot; do not boil.
- In an electric mixer, beat eggs with whisk until fluffy; add cornstarch mixture and lemon juice. With mixer on medium-low speed, slowly add 1 to 2 cups hot stock until incorporated and mixture thickens slightly. Add any remaining stock to orzo.
- Over low heat, slowly add egg mixture to orzo, stirring constantly until thickened and creamy. Do not let it come to a boil; eggs will curdle. Serve immediately.
VEGETARIAN AVGOLEMONO SOUP
This is a wonderful recipe for a hearty, yet refreshing, lemon orzo soup. Comes together quickly and makes for a very flavorful dinner! We eat it by itself with some crackers but it would be lovely to accompany a Greek leg of lamb.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until veggies soften and flavors have mingled, about 3 minutes.
- Add water and bring to a boil. Cook for at least 1 hour, or longer for a more flavorful broth.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetable chunks to a food processor. Blend until smooth and return to the pot.
- Add orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whip eggs in a bowl. Add lemon juice. Add a few tablespoons of hot broth to the lemon-egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Continue until lemon-egg mixture is hot, then add to the broth.
- Reduce heat and cook, without boiling, until soup thickens a bit, about 3 minutes. Allow soup to cool slightly before serving; it will become even thicker. Season with salt and pepper.

- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook the vegetables for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Add the garlic and for one more minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the rice to the pot. Swirl it around for a minute to toast it, then add 7 cups (1.65L) of the broth and the salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer the soup for 25 minutes if using white rice or orzo. Simmer for 40 minutes if using brown rice, or until the rice is tender.

Steps:
- Heat the 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and saute until it starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and orzo and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chickenless broth, loosen browned bits on the bottom of the pan, and increase the heat to high. Bring the soup just to a boil and rapid boil until the orzo is al dente. It took our soup 9 minutes to boil and then 4 more minutes for the orzo to be cooked.
- While the soup is cooking, whisk together the eggs and the lemon juice in a medium sized bowl. To temper the eggs, whisk one large ladle full of the boiling soup liquid directly into the eggs until everything is combined. Whisk in one more ladle full until everything is combined.
- When the orzo is al dente, remove the soup from the heat. Add the egg mixture to the soup, stirring the soup quickly while you add it until well combined into the soup. Then stir in the chickpeas.
- Season with the salt and pepper to your liking.

- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrots and garlic and sauté for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add stock and chickpeas, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium (or medium-low), whatever works to maintain a steady low simmer.

Ladle out 1 cup of the hot soup broth, and while whisking the egg mixture with one hand continuously, very very slowly drizzle the broth into the eggs until combined.

- Prepare the chicken broth. In a large soup pot, combine the water, chicken, onion, carrots, celery and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer.
- Remove chicken and vegetables. After 2-3 hours, discard the veggies and bay leaves and remove the chicken from the broth. Separate the chicken meat from the skin and bones, shred and set aside.
- Cook the rice. Remove 1 cup of broth from the stockpot and set aside. Then, bring the remaining broth back to a boil and add the rice. Reduce to a simmer and cook the rice until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the avgolemono. While the rice cooks, prepare the avgolemono. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites to soft peaks; it will take 2-3 minutes.
- Add avgolemono to soup. Slowly transfer the avgolemono to the pot of broth and fully cooked rice on the stove. Stir to combine and then bring the soup to a simmer.
- Serve. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a bit of the reserved shredded chicken, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley, dill, oregano and lemon zest, and serve with crusty bread.

- Add the white part of the green onions, carrots, celery, and salt to the pot. Let them sweat for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add water, Better Than Bouillon, white pepper, and green part of green onions to the pot. Bring to a boil.
- Once the broth boils, reduce the heat to medium and add the lemon peel, thyme, dill, and bay leaf. You will remove the herbs and lemon peel before adding the orzo, so if you have a loose leaf tea bag or cheesecloth to make a makeshift bag (see notes), it will be much easier to remove them later. Place the lid half on half off to allow some steam to escape. Allow the flavors to cook together for 8 minutes for a tasty broth base.
