Steps:
- First begin shredding your rotisserie chicken and place aside.
- Then in a large pot on medium heat saute the onions, garlic, and carrots with a light spray of olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Then add your Orzo and bay leaves. Continue sauteing for another 1-2 minutes.
- Next add the chicken broth, seasoning, and bring to a slow boil. Once your soup begins to boil you can reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes.
- Once your soup is finished, you can turn off the burner and add the shredded chicken.
- In a separate small bowl, you will separate three egg yolks. Whisk your egg yolks and add your fresh squeezed lemon juice.
- Then in a liquid measuring cup, ladle about a cup of the chicken broth from your soup. Then slowly whisk the broth into your egg yolks
- Next, pour the entire mixture of lemon, chicken broth, and egg yolks back into your soup and give it a stir. Add extra salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with an extra lemon wedge and sliced green onion.

Steps:
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the orzo and cook 2 minutes less than the label directs.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg, yolks, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice. Reduce the heat under the orzo to low; scoop out 1 cup broth with a ladle and pour it into the egg mixture in a steady stream, whisking with the other hand. Then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining broth and orzo in a steady stream, whisking constantly.
- Stir the chicken into the soup. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Cook, stirring, until the soup thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots and warm through.
