Steps:
- In a large stockpot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and then lower to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken is just cooked through and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes; remove to a bowl. Once cooled, shred the chicken and reserve.
- Add the orzo or rice to the pot with the chicken stock and cook until al dente, 5 to 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and most of the lemon juice, reserving some to add later as needed. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Once combined, ladle in some hot stock to temper the egg mixture, whisking constantly and adding the hot liquid slowly. Very slowly, add the warm whipped egg/lemon mixture into the pot, whisking constantly to prevent any curds or clumps from forming. Continue to cook over medium-low to medium heat, whisking, until the soup thickens, about 10 minutes more.
- Add the shredded chicken and any reserved juices to the soup. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and add additional lemon juice if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley.
CREAMY GREEK LEMON SOUP
I love Greek food and this is one of my favorite soups. Making the chicken broth for this soup from scratch makes it even more yummy so don't cut corners here. I add only a small amount of chicken to the finished soup. So use the rest of the cooked chicken for a chicken salad or add to a future recipe. Extra chicken can be frozen too.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan or dutch oven add water and chicken. Bring to a boil and as it boils with a large spoon skim the top scum and grease that forms on the top and discard. This makes sure you will have a clear broth.
- When the broth is clear add the chopped onion, celery, shredded carrots and Tones chicken base or bouillon cubes. Bring back to a boil then lower hear to simmer and cook about 45-60 minutes covered or until chicken is tender. Chicken will start falling from the bone
- Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Taste the broth and add 1 teaspoon of salt or salt to taste. Set aside.
- When chicken is cool enough, remove chicken from bones. Discard the bones. Measure 1/2 cup of chicken and chop into small chunks. Add the chopped chicken to the chicken broth. There will be extra chicken that can be used for a yummy chicken salad or frozen to use in another recipe.
- Bring broth with chicken back to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Cover and lower heat to simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes covered until rice is done. While the rice is cooking crack 2 eggs into a large measuring cup or bowl. Whisk until well mixed. Add 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice to the egg and whisk together. Set aside until rice and broth mixture is cooked.
- When the broth with rice has finished cooking gradually pour the egg and lemon mixture slowly into the soup in a steady stream whisking the entire time. (Don't add all at once or the eggs will scramble). Once all the egg mixture has been added the soup should be thick and creamy. Serve in bowl and sprinkle a little dried dill over each bowl if desired. Salt and Pepper if needed. Enjoy!

Steps:
- ONE: In a wide 2-3 quart saucepan, add 3 cups chicken stock (reserving the remaining 2 cups chicken stock, chilled), 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Recipe #488671, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 5 tablespoons for a richer soup), 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest. Stir. Add 1/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta. Bring mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup of the cold chicken stock, reserving the final 1 cup for the following step.
- TWO: In a medium mixing bowl, add the remaining 1 cup cold chicken stock. Gradually whisk in 4 tablespoons flour until lump-free (or 5 tablespoons flour for a thicker soup). Whisk 2 eggs into the flour mixture until smooth. Pour mixture all at once into saucepan mixture while whisking vigorously. Return to low heat (do not raise the numeric rangetop setting higher than a 2 1/2 setting beyond this point, to prevent the eggs from curdling).
- THREE: If desired, add 1 1/2 - 2 cups diced boneless skinless rotisserie-cooked chicken. Heat over low to medium-low heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until completely thickened and heated through (about 10 minutes). Garnish with minced fresh parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add carrot, onion, and celery. Cook, stirring continuously, until vegetables start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth, parsley, and oregano. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add chicken and orzo. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a heat-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Add the lemon juice and whisk until well combined.
- Slowly add a ladle of hot broth to the egg mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Repeat with a few more ladles until the egg mixture is hot and steaming. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and whisk until incorporated.
- Add 1/2 of the lemon zest to the soup; reserve remaining zest for another use. Taste soup; if too lemony, add chicken bouillon. Add hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until orzo is tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

- To prepare this traditional Greek lemon chicken soup, wash thoroughly the chicken and place in a deep pot. Push the chicken with your hands down to the bottom of the pan, add the whole onion, the carrot, pour in the water and season. The water should be enough to cover the chicken. Place on high heat, put the lid on and bring to the boil.
- When the chicken starts to boil, turn the heat down and boil the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The chicken is ready when the meat can be removed easily from the bones. While the chicken boils, some white foam will probably surface on the water. Remove the foam with a slotted spoon.
- Remove the chicken from the broth and strain the broth. You should have about 1 litre of broth left. If it has reduced a lot, add some water. Add the hot broth in another pot, add the rice and season with salt and pepper and boil, until done.
- While the rice is being cooked, prepare your chicken. Pull the chicken meat from the bones and discard the skin. Shred the meat into bite sized chunks.
