Instructions
- Bring the broth to a boil in a large stock pot. Add the rice to the pot and cook till its tender, 15-20 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and lemon juice together in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Temper the egg mixture by adding about a cup of hot broth to the egg mixture and whisking consistently. This gently heats the eggs.
- Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the rice. This will help thicken the soup.
