My kids haven't been wild about orzo the couple times I've used it, but I'm a perpetual optimist ;-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395507850821188923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9360493.post-33072416456779262902011-01-24T19:40:07.691-05:002011-01-24T19:40:07.691-05:00Shirley, its Lissa from WHRHS, I live in Atlanta n...Shirley, its Lissa from WHRHS, I live in Atlanta now and there is a Greek diner here that offers soup with their daily specials. My son and I love the lemon chicken soup and I'm looking forward to trying your recipe at home but one change I'll make based on the restaurant version is to use orzo instead of rice. Now, after a couponing seminar today I just have to wait for whole chickens to go on sale!LissaLissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725860872225069542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9360493.post-15494488746494251542011-01-15T01:21:01.894-05:002011-01-15T01:21:01.894-05:00Been there with the daughters,Shirley.

I'm going to have to try that pizza crust from the frozen bread dough Jackie mentioned. That Lemon Greek chicken soup sounds delish...I may have to try it, also. I wonder about the rice, though. Do you use the regular rice we use down here in the south, or something like Uncle Ben's quick cooking rice? Just wondering. And you are so right about chicken stock...easy and so much better than Swanson's...yuk.<br /><br />I cooked a huge pot of homemade vegetable beef soup today with everything but the kitchen sink in it. So good on a cold day. Can't leave the recipe today. I'm way late getting to bed. Have to drive to New Orleans in the morning to see YOU at the SOLA RWA. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9360493.post-18328365979990446872011-01-03T11:36:08.073-05:002011-01-03T11:36:08.073-05:00LOL, Jackie!

I'd love to make my own, but bread is not my forte.<br /><br />Heather--I think small or big, a party with friends is always fun. When we lived in a smaller house, we tended to just spread out for eating or use those cheap plastic lawn chairs in the kitchen with some folding tables. IMO, it's the company, not the space that makes a party fun :-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395507850821188923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9360493.post-892693544062550522010-12-29T13:24:46.257-05:002010-12-29T13:24:46.257-05:00I've been contemplating having some sort of so...I've been contemplating having some sort of soup party for a few years now, actually. (I don't entertain nearly as often as you do!) But I wanted to find a way to host a soup exchange ... where everyone brought their favorite soup and people could sample/exchange left overs since most soup recipes make so much. I really wish I had more space at my table/kitchen as I think I'd really enjoy doing this!Heather Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9360493.post-65464656354843314742010-12-27T20:44:04.854-05:002010-12-27T20:44:04.854-05:00Daughters sound fun, I have boys and they are all ...Daughters sound fun, I have boys and they are all about pizza. I've discovered frozen loaves of unbaked bread make good pizza crusts. And the guys like meat pizzas, if they like veggies they aren't admitting it in front of each other.
