5. While the soup is cooking, beat the eggs in a small bowl. Slowly pour the lemon juice into the beaten eggs, whisking constantly.

6. Once the orzo is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour the egg-lemon mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. This helps to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.

9. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious lemon chicken soup with orzo!
