Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
¾ cup cubed carrots
-
½ cup chopped yellow onion
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
-
¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
6 cups unsalted chicken stock
-
½ cup uncooked whole-wheat orzo
-
3 large eggs
-
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
-
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
-
3 cups chopped baby spinach
-
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Directions
-
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Add carrot and onion; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Add stock to Dutch oven; increase heat to high, and bring stock to a boil. Add orzo, and cook, uncovered, until orzo is al dente, about 6 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and lemon juice in a medium bowl until frothy. Once orzo has cooked 6 minutes, carefully remove 1 cup boiling stock from Dutch oven. Gradually add hot stock to egg–lemon juice mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture back into Dutch oven, and stir to combine.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in chicken, spinach, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Divide soup among 6 bowls; sprinkle servings evenly with dill.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
