  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

2. How do I prepare the chicken for the soup?

To prepare the chicken, you can either cook it in a separate pot and shred it, or you can poach it directly in the broth for about 20 minutes until fully cooked. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.
