This soup manages to be hearty, fresh-tasting *and* fast, all one in warming bowl.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 1 carrot, finely chopped

  • 3/4 cup orzo pasta

  • 3 eggs

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice

  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  • Bring chicken broth and 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add chicken, carrot and orzo. When broth returns to a boil, reduce heat to medium. Gently boil until chicken is fully cooked and orzo is al dente, about 8 min.

  • Whisk eggs with lemon juice in a medium bowl. Slowly pour egg mixture into hot soup while stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Season with pepper. Add dill just before serving.
