Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup orzo
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
- salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring chicken stock to a boil.
- Add orzo, and cook until al dente.
- While the orzo is cooking, whisk together lemon juice and eggs.
- When orzo is al dente, ladle out 1 cup of the chicken broth.
- Slowly add about 1 tablespoon of broth at a time to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Once the broth has been whisked into the egg mixture, slowly stream the egg mixture back into the pot of broth, whisking constantly.
- Add the shredded chicken broth, and simmer until soup has thickened, whisking constantly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Chicken stock: I like to use reduced-sodium stock to better control the salt level. Chicken broth will also work.
