Ingredients

  • cups chicken broth 
  •  eggs 
  • tablespoons juice of lemon 
  • 0.3 cup orzo pasta uncooked (or rice or pastina)
  • servings salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • ladle
  • whisk

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil.
  2. Add the orzo, rice, or pastina and cook until tender but still al dente, about 7 minutes (20, if using rice). Season with the salt and pepper and reduce heat to low; simmer.
  3. Meanwhile, 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, then whisk 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 to 2 minutes.
  6. Add more salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
  7. For your apron-hanging toddler, scoop a little uncooked orzo into a lidded Tupperware container: Instant maraca!
