Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

I'm giving you the recipe this time! This is one of my favorites and it's a lighter soup, so I don't feel as weird having it in the warmer months as well as the colder ones.


Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

Servings ~ 4

Ingredients:
7 cups chicken broth (or equivalent in bouillon)
1 cup (uncooked) orzo
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
4 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Directions:

1. Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan and add uncooked orzo. Cook until orzo is almost done.

2. Whisk together the eggs and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup of the hot broth from the orzo (it's ok if some orzo gets in, but try not to get too much).

3. Whisk warmed egg mixture into the saucepan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chicken and pepper and cook, stirring often, until chicken is heated through (1-2 minutes)

4. Serve and enjoy!

Advent

Three and a half years... In the last three and a half years, we've moved to another state, had a baby, and bought a house (therefore moving again). I hate moving.  But this post isn't about all that. I wanted to capture what I'm doing to make this Christmas time more special for my kids (mostly the 5yo at this point because 15mo is clueless). First, every year I select my favorite of our extensive Christmas book selection and add in a few new books, maybe a puzzle or movie or two. Then wrap each item to make a (mostly) Christmas book advent calendar.  So I thought that was that and we'd be all good. We'd try to make cookies and go look at Christmas lights at some point of course, too, but I didn't need any of those toy calendars or chocolate calendars.  Except, our church sent out the supplies to make an advent calendar. And 5yo likes making things. And 5yo wanted to put something in the little bags. So fine, I thought, I'll have her help me make it then ru

I made this today

I've been creating a lot again lately. And it feels good.

Pretty....

Thanks to my mom and mother-in-law, I can now get started on my new creative outlet, jewelry making! Both got me gifts related to the endeavor and I've jumped right in. This is a photo of my first project. I still have some things to improve, of course, but I'm really happy with how they turned out and excited to try more things!
