The ingredients for lemon chicken soup with orzo are:

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and diced
half of an onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8?10 cups chicken broth
1 cup DeLallo whole wheat orzo
3-ish cups cooked chicken (I use shredded rotisserie chicken)
3 eggs
juice of 3?4 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
a handful of fresh spinach
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
lots of freshly ground pepper
as much fresh dill as you can handle

Here is how you make lemon chicken soup with orzo:

Base: Heat large soup pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic. Saute until fragrant and tender, about 10 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the garlic.)Orzo: Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the orzo and cook for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the chicken and remove from heat.Eggs: Whisk the eggs and lemon juice together in a small bowl. The idea here is to warm up the egg mixture slowly (without scrambling the eggs). Slowly add a scoop of the soup into the egg mixture. Then add your warmed egg mixture back to the soup pot ? slowly, slowly, slowly, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy. Final touches: Finish by stirring in your spinach, salt, pepper, and dill and adjust seasonings to taste!Serving Size: Makes 10 1 Cup ServingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GROVERKITTY.
