Ingredients
1 lb. cooked chicken 3 cans fat free low sodium chicken broth3 oz orzo pasta, uncooked6 tbsp lemon juice4 eggs1/2 cup finely sliced celery1/2 cup finely sliced carrot
Tear the chicken into bite sized pieces and set aside. Bring the three cans of chicken broth to a boil and add the sliced vegetables. While they are cooking beat four eggs and lemon juice until frothy.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the orzo and continue to cook until it is tender.
Take a small amount of the broth (about a 1/5 cup) out of the pot and SLOWLY pour it into the egg mixture while you continue to whisk. This will allow the eggs to heat slowly so they will not start to cook and harden when you add them to the soup.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot while stirring. Take your time so you don't wind up bits of scrambled egg in your soup!
Add the chicken pieces and stir til heated through. Serve with some fresh ground black pepper. Makes about 7 1 cup servings.
