Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the chicken broth into a large soup pot and place over medium-high heat.
  2. Bring the broth to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the lemon juice.
  4. Whisk the eggs and lemon juice vigorously until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
  5. Reduce the heat under the soup pot to the lowest setting so the liquid is barely simmering.
  6. Ladle a small amount of the hot broth into the egg mixture and stir quickly to temper the eggs.
  7. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the pot of simmering broth while stirring constantly in one direction.
  8. Continue to stir gently until the soup thickens slightly and the eggs form silky ribbons, ensuring the soup does not boil.
  9. Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper if needed.
  10. Ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls.
  11. Top each bowl with diced hard-boiled eggs and serve immediately.
