Ingredients
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/3 cup long-grain white rice
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 scallion green, thinly sliced
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil over moderately high heat. Add the rice and salt. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is just tender, about 25 minutes. Whisk eggs together in a medium bowl until frothy. Bring the soup to a boil and slowly pour it into the eggs, whisking constantly so that the eggs do not curdle.
