Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups chicken stock (48 ounces)
1 cup orzo
Salt and pepper
2 eggs, separated

Cook until orzo is tender, about 10 minutes. In a bowl whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then beat in yolks. Mixture should be frothy. Stir in lemon juice until just combined. Slowly stream 2 ladlefuls of hot stock over egg mixture, whisking constantly. Slowly whisk egg mixture back into simmering stock, stirring until thickened. Do not let soup boil.
