My Greek grandma's lemon rice soup — made vegetarian. This was the soup that she made me whenever I was sick, instead of chicken noodle soup. It's rich, creamy, and soothing!

Ingredients

4 cups vegetable broth
2 ½ ounces rice
3 eggs
2 small lemons, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in rice. Cover the saucepan; simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
Beat eggs and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Slowly add 1 ladle of hot soup, stirring constantly. Repeat with another ladle of soup, if necessary, to bring egg mixture up to the temperature of soup.
Stir egg mixture into broth and rice. Reduce heat to low and cook until soup is hot, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Recipe Tip

For a thicker soup, add some flour or cornstarch while cooking.
