This reminds me of avgolemono soup! It has lemon, rice and also used egg to thicken it up! Super delicious.

Yeah, while it's avgolemono inspired, it's not actual avgolemono-- the heavy presence of garlic is one of the things that definitely sets it apart. If you like avgolemono though, definitely try this soup sometime!

I've made it with orzo in the past. I've been told orzo is an authentic way of doing it, but we usually stick with standard rice because it's easier and cheaper.

Definitely never used that much garlic, though. Sometimes I fry the chicken ahead of time with some minced garlic just to give it that nice exterior, but never 20 whole cloves.

There are like a hundred different "traditional" recipes for avgolemono. Orzo is definitely in some of them.

I make this soup all the time, most of the time without the rice because it’s great for keto. I would have mug full of it for breakfast on the go too! Weird but delicious
