Pokyny

Rinse your chicken thighs and then place them into your soup pot (do not trim the fat from the chicken). Pour the water into the pot and heat on high. Cover the pot until it starts to boil and then lower the heat to low. Intermittently remove the white froth from the pot and then quickly cover again. Season with the salt + pepper.

Cook for 15 minutes and then transfer the chicken to cutting board. Slice into bite size pieces and then return to the pot. Also stir in the orzo pasta at this point. Cover again. Stir occasionally. Cook 10 minutes and then uncover pot, bump up your heat to medium and cook another 15 minutes. Remember to taste the broth and adjust seasonings to your palate. Shut off the burner.

In a large measuring cup or bowl, add eggs and 1 teaspoon water, beat for 30 seconds. Whisk in the lemon juice into the eggs. Next add two cups of the pot’s chicken broth (one cup at a time), to this mixture while whisking vigorously. This is done to temper the mixture.

Finally, remove the pot from the burner and pour this tempered lemon sauce into your soup while mixing continuously, until fully incorporated and smooth.
