Categories: Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup uncooked orzo
• Salt and pepper
• 3 eggs
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil.

2. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still al dente, about 7 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper and reduce heat to low; let simmer.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until smooth.

4. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg-and-lemon mixture, whisking to combine.

5. Add the mixture back to the simmering saucepan. Stir just until the soup becomes opaque and thickens as the eggs cook, 1-2 minutes. Add more salt and pepper, and serve.
