Give this Light and Lemony Summer Soup a Try!

Quick Lemony Greek Chicken Soup

Serves 6 (serving size: 1 1/4 cups)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil • 3/4 cup cubed carrot • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic • 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper • 6 cups unsalted chicken stock • 1/2 cup uncooked whole-wheat orzo • 3 large eggs • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken • 3 cups chopped baby spinach • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

How to Make It Step 1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add carrot and onion; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Step 2

Add stock to Dutch oven; increase heat to high, and bring stock to a boil. Add orzo, and cook, uncovered, until orzo is al dente, about 6 minutes. Step 3

Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and lemon juice in a medium bowl until frothy. Once orzo has cooked 6 minutes, carefully remove 1 cup boiling stock from Dutch oven. Gradually add hot stock to egg–lemon juice mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture back into Dutch oven, and stir to combine. Step 4

Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in chicken, spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Divide soup among 6 bowls; sprinkle servings evenly with dill.
