Creating your own Avgolemono Soup is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps:

1. Heat Chicken Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Cook Orzo/Rice: If using orzo or rice, add it to the boiling broth and cook according to package instructions until tender.
3. Whisk Eggs and Lemon: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until frothy.
4. Temper the Egg Mixture: Gradually ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg mixture, whisking continuously. This step prevents the eggs from curdling.
5. Combine Mixtures: Slowly stir the tempered egg mixture back into the soup while stirring. This will create a creamy texture.
6. Add Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Continue to cook the soup for 5-10 minutes on low heat, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
7. Season: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding salt and black pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

These manageable steps ensure that you create the perfect Avgolemono Soup every time!
