Οδηγίες

to a large pot over medium heat add 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 cup diced onion (I used 3/4 cup yellow onion and 1/4 cup red onion), and 1/2 cup chopped carrots

sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes

add 4 cups of broth (option to use chicken or vegetable broth) and bring to a boil

add 1 cup of orzo, reduce the broth to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 10 minutes until orzo is al dente

in a separate small mixing bowl add the juice of 1 lemon and 3 eggs, and whisk together

slowly pour about 1 cup of the orzo soup broth into the small mixing bowl with the eggs and lemon, while continuously whisking

SLOWLY add the liquid from the small mixing bowl to the orzo soup while stirring the broth to incorporate - the broth will become smooth and creamy!

next add 1 cup cooked chicken, 1 can of artichoke hearts, 1 handful of spinach, and 3 tbsp fresh chopped dill

stir everything together, add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
