Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Poach     Easter

Yield 6 Bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 c. homemade chicken stock - 4-6 lb stewing chicken, covered with water and boiled until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth to cool and strain and reserve liquid.
1 c. orzo
4 eggs/ separated
Juice of 3 lemons
Garnish:
Fresh ground black pepper
Thinly sliced lemon
Optional:
1 c. thinly shredded chicken meat (from chicken you used to make homemade broth)

Steps:

  • Bring 8 c. stock to boil in a large stock pot. Add orzo and simmer until tender, 20 minutes. Turn off burner. Whip egg whites until medium peaks. Add egg yolks, beating continuously with wire whisk. Add lemon juice, beating until combined. Temper eggs with 2 c. broth - add one cup broth to egg mixture in constant slow stream while continuing to beat with a whisk so you do not curdle the eggs. Add second cup of broth to eggs and then return entire egg mixture back to remaining broth in stock pot. At this point you can add the thin shredded slices of chicken, if using (although classic recipes do not include the chicken meat). To serve, garnish with freshly ground black pepper and thinly sliced lemon. When reheating, do not re-boil - heat slowly until very warm or you may curdle the eggs. I sometimes add more than juice of 3 lemons, as the sourness is the best part of the taste! You should taste lemon, richness of eggs, salt of chicken, and starch of rice and you've made it perfectly.
