Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add 1 cup of medium-grain rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
- In a mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the egg whites until frothy, then gradually whisk in the yolks until smooth.
- Ladle hot broth into the egg mixture gradually, whisking continuously to temper the eggs for about 1-2 minutes.
- After tempering, pour the egg mixture back into the pot while stirring continuously for about 1 minute.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon and mix in ¼ cup of fresh-squeezed lemon juice, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup in bowls, garnishing with fresh dill or parsley.
