Our family’s holiday staple, lemon orzo soup. An easy four ingredient soup that can be whipped up in less than fifteen minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 (48 fluid ounce) can chicken broth
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- 1 lemon, juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
Directions
Step 1
Pour chicken broth into a large pot, and bring to a boil. Add orzo pasta, and simmer for 10 minutes, until tender.
Step 2
In a medium glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites to medium stiff peaks. Stir in egg yolks and lemon juice. When the pasta has finished cooking, Gradually ladle about 1 cup of the soup into the egg mixture while stirring gently. This will heat up the eggs so they will not be shocked by the boiling liquid.
