Instructions
- 1 Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until veggies soften and flavors have mingled, about 3 minutes.
- 2 Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cook for at least 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender, or longer for a more flavorful broth.
- 3 Use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetable chunks to a food processor. Blend until smooth and return to the pot.
- 4 Add orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- 5 Meanwhile, whisk eggs and lemon juice in a bowl. Add a few tablespoons of hot broth to the lemon-egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Continue until lemon-egg mixture is hot, then add to the broth.
- 6 Reduce heat and cook, without boiling, until soup thickens a bit, about 3 minutes. Allow soup to cool slightly before serving; it will become even thicker. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
