Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

I've had Greek Lemon Chicken Soup at the Panera and it was really good.  It had orzo instead of rice but this recipe looks pretty good as well and even provides  the nutritional facts as well.

I'm going to print it, my husband would love this.

I made the soup with turkey instead of chicken (because I roasted a 14 pounder and had leftovers) with the orzo..........it was yummy
