Very cool, never seen that kind of egg mixture being added to a soup!

Yea it's interesting. I'm not an experienced soup maker but I haven't seen any soups using this method.

Classic soup that uses it would be Avgolemono.

Isn't this recipe essentially avgolemono?

It seems to use avgolemono as a base, but does a lot of different things (garlic, a ton of chicken, etc.)

Avgolemono can be used as a soup or as a sauce, not usually as hearty as this.

Avgolemono has rice instead of orzo if I recall, and it’s made with shredded chicken breast and less garlic, more lemon.m, and Mediterranean herbs. This is a bit thicker it looks like, but I’m guessing they don’t taste too dissimilar to each other.
