    Wonderful soup!!! This soup is so distinctive. The lemon flavor is BOLD, and that is what I love about it!!! My Greek Yaya (Grandma made this when I was a kid, and love that I can now make it. I add a lot of black peper to mine, because that's what she did. The lemon and peper go so well together.

    This has been in my family for years. we are greek so alot of the time we add lamb. You boil it with the chicken broth.. adding chicken is also good.

    I've been making this soup for ten years after seeing them make it on Too Hot Tamales. It's the best soup to soothe a sore throat.

    I've played with the ratios and this combination seems to work best:
    2 qts. chicken broth
    1 cup orzo
    2 eggs
    juice from 1 large lemon

    The texture was slimey, and the flavor was dominated by lemon. Also, the took on a glue-like consistency after cooking for a few minutes with the ingredients combined.

    I cut this recipe in half because I was using a limited amount of leftover chicken. Also, substituted risotto for the suggested orzo.

    Ended up with a mixture that was too thick to call a soup, so I mashed up some potatoes and topped it off with this mixture and called it Chicken Ala King.

    It was excellent! Even if I had watered down this mixture to make it a soup again, it was really very good and exactly what I was craving when I looked up this recipe.

    I made this soup on a cold day for some friends and it was a hit! The only changes I made were to add some chicken and a couple other seasonings. But otherwise it turned out great!
