Traditional Greek-style avgolemono soup marries eggs with lemon juice in a flavourful base of chicken broth. The dish gets its silky consistency from the egg, which thickens the soup as it cooks in the liquid. Throwing chicken and orzo into the pot makes our version even heartier. If you prefer, use a cooked grain in place of the orzo—barley and farro both are great choices.
