Couple drops hot sauce
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Great flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this soup had a wonderful flavor; I followed the recipe just the way it was. Next time, I will add some orzo to it... to give it some texure. It was more like a broth unless I kept adding tons of pita chips. Great, easy recipe for a tasty soup!Read more

Soooo Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this soup was excellent and so easy. I followed Rachel's show instructions, although I used a dry Bay leaf and a... pinch of saffron powder. I added orzo to a make a more filling soup. The flavor was perfect. Just the right tang of lemon and parsley. This soup would be wonderful when someone is sick with a cold or flu. I highly recommend this recipe.Read more

Awful
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed this recipe to a tee. It was absolutely the worst tasting soup I have ever made. The consistency was runny even... though I used the correct amount of eggs. Too tart! Threw it away.Read more

Delicious and surprisingly filling! I omitted the Pita Chips to make it more low-carb friendly.
