Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup of medium-grain white rice and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer gently. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the broth.
- While the rice cooks, crack 2 large eggs into a mixing bowl, separating the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until frothy, about 1-2 minutes, then gradually mix in the yolks.
- Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot chicken broth from the pot into the beaten eggs, whisking continuously to blend. This gradual heating prevents curdling.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Gently stir the tempered egg mixture back into the pot, whisking continuously for about 1 minute.
- Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon to the pot, along with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
- Ladle the warm Greek Egg and Lemon Soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped dill or parsley.

Notes
Be careful not to rush the tempering of the eggs to maintain a smooth texture. Adjust lemon and seasoning according to taste.
