Lemony Mushroom Orzo Soup image

My grandmother used to make a similar classic Greek soup, avgolemono, every Sunday after church. Here's my version of her recipe. The kids and I came up with this variation while experimenting with different ingredients. I think my yia-yia would be proud. -Nick Haros, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lemon flavor was really refreshing and the orzo was cooked perfectly.

I would make this soup again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less lemon juice and add a bit more garlic and thyme.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This soup was a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice or adding a bit of sugar to balance out the flavor.

This is my new favorite soup! It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and so comforting. I love the combination of lemon and mushrooms. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! The lemon flavor was just right and the mushrooms were tender and flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

This lemony mushroom orzo soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and tangy, and the mushrooms and orzo were cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra lemon zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick. Will definitely
