Instructions to make Chicken soup greek style:
  1. In a large pot add the chicken the onion and carrot whole. Add the all spice the olive oil and the water and bring to a boil. There will be a froth formed so remove it with a spoon.
  2. Turn the heat on medium and let the chicken boil until you see it separates from the bone, almost an hour.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a tray. Season generously with salt and cover. The meat will absorb the salt. Remove the carrot, onion and all spice and throw away.
  4. Bring the broth to a boil, season with salt and add the orzo. Cook for 10-11 minutes. While the broth is boiling keep aside a cup of the broth for later. (We will need it for the avgolemono, we need it to be warm and not boiling hot).
  5. When the orzo is almost cooked remove the pot from the stove.
  6. Let's get the avgolemono goining. Separate the egg whites from the yokes. Keep the yokes aside and squeeze the lemons to take the juice.
  7. Whisk the egg whites until fluffy, add the yolks and mix to combine. Add the lemon juice while whisking. Add the broth you set aside earlier and continue whisking. The avgolemono is ready. Pour it into the pot and stir for a couple of seconds.
  8. Serve the soup with freshly ground pepper and the chicken. I like to add the chicken into my soup in small pieces. Enjoy!
