LEMON CHICKEN ORZO SOUP
Inspired by Panera Bread's version, this soup delivers on flavor. Tender chicken in a lemony broth with orzo pasta, carrots, onions, celery, and baby spinach. This has quickly become one of my family's very favorite soup recipes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water until partially cooked through but not yet soft, about 5 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water until cooled completely.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, and onion in hot oil until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season mixture with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf; continue cooking another 30 seconds before pouring chicken broth into the pot.
- Bring the broth to a boil. Partially cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir orzo, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the broth; add chicken. Cook until the chicken and orzo are heated through, about 5 minutes. Add baby spinach; cook until the spinach wilts into the broth and the orzo is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with lemon slices and Parmesan cheese.

LEMON SQUASH SOUP WITH ORZO
A lovely variant on the usual Greek lemon-chicken soup, with mint adding an unusual twist. I don't remember where I found this recipe, but my whole family loves it. It's incredible served with dark pumpernickel bread. Use an immersion blender for the best possible texture, but a regular blender will work well enough. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add squash and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add 4 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until the squash is very soft.
- Use an immersion blender to create a smooth, thick puree. (If using a regular blender, allow soup to cool before pureeing, and then return it to the pot.)
- Bring back to a boil. Add the orzo and reduce the heat, cooking until the pasta is tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the cream, egg yolks and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. Add the cream/egg mixture to the soup and whisk over low heat until blended. Do not let the soup come back to a boil or the egg yolks will curdle.
- Stir in the mint. If the soup is too thick at this point, add the remaining cup of stock. Serve immediately.
