Are you in the midst of a season of freezing temperatures, or are you just in need of trying a delicious new soup recipe for dinner? I’ve got you covered both ways. This soup recipe is one that will warm you up, and it will provide plenty of comfort!
What makes this soup “Greek?”
This soup is reminiscent of the classic Avgolemono Greek Lemon Chicken Soup. I’m not about to claim that this is an authentic Greek recipe since there will be someone out there who disputes my claim! But it certainly has some nice Greek-style flavors such as lemon and dill, and it has the classic texture of egg added in at the end of the cooking process.
What is Orzo, and where can I find it?
Orzo is a small, rice-shaped pasta. It can be found in the pasta section in your local market. Alternately, you can use white rice instead of orzo. I’ve seen Greek Lemon Chicken Soup recipes made both ways.
How to make this soup even more Weight Watchers friendly:
One of my very nice readers suggested that if you’re following the Weight Watchers Freestyle Points program, you might choose to make this soup lighter by adding in cauliflower rice (toward the end of cooking). If you do this, you can leave out the orzo for fewer WW points per serving, or for just a much lighter soup overall. In fact, if you sub the cauliflower rice for the orzo, that turns this soup into a ZERO points meal!
