Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 18-25 minutes until cooked through. Shred the chicken once cooled.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped celery, and carrots; sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs as desired. Stir in orzo, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-12 minutes until tender.
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Slowly add 1 cup of hot broth while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
- Gradually stir the tempered egg mixture into the pot. Add shredded chicken and mix well. Avoid boiling the soup after this step.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, crumbled feta, and olive oil. Serve hot.
