Ingredients

  • 8 cups Nourish Broth
  • 1 12 tsp Nourish Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo or rice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp Greek Dressing Mix, or your choice Dressing Mix or Dip Mix
  • 4 lemons
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Pour broth in Multipurpose Pot. Cover; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add orzo and cook, partially covered, until tender, about 10 min. If using rice, about 20 min. Once cooked, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add eggs and dressing mix. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze in juice from lemons. Whisk to combine.
  3. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of hot broth into egg and lemon mixture. This tempers the eggs and prevents curdling.
  4. Whisk the tempered egg mixture into remaining broth.
  5. Add chicken and simmer until heated through, about 2 min. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
