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

The soup was okay, but I was expecting it to be more flavorful. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.
