🥷🌱 My Love Language is Food 💜🌱 Greek Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo
My love language is cooking for my wife, and today I made her one of the most comforting recipes ever: Greek Lemon Soup, also known as Avgolemono. 🍋🍲
This traditional Greek soup blends tender chicken, silky egg-lemon broth, and hearty orzo for a dish that’s both healing and delicious. It’s a recipe that’s perfect when you’re under the weather, craving comfort food, or simply want to share a bowl of love with someone special.
Avgolemono is more than just soup—it’s a reminder that food is love, and every spoonful can bring warmth, health, and connection. 🌱💜🍼

🍋 Greek Lemon Soup (Avgolemono) Recipe
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
1 cup cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie works great)
½ cup orzo (or rice, if you prefer)
3 large eggs
2 lemons (juice + zest)
1 tsp dried oregano (or fresh dill for garnish)
Salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Sauté base – In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic for 1 minute.
2. Cook orzo – Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add orzo and cook until tender (8–10 minutes).
3. Prepare lemon-egg mixture – In a bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice until smooth.
4. Temper the eggs – Slowly ladle 1 cup of hot broth into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly (this prevents curdling).
5. Combine – Reduce soup heat to low. Stir the tempered egg mixture back into the pot, creating a silky, creamy broth.
6. Add chicken – Stir in shredded chicken, season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Warm through (do not boil).
7. Serve – Ladle into bowls, garnish with lemon zest and fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!

Listen, y’all can have those other love languages. You want to know what my love language is? Food. I love questions like, “Can I cook for you? Have you eaten? Can I feed you? Can I bring you food? Are you hungry?” And I know they say that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. But I’m convinced that the same is true for women, too. Food is a love language.
