Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a rolling boil. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the instant brown rice, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and has absorbed much of the broth. (Approximately 10 minutes)

03

Step

While the rice is simmering, whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and frothy. Gradually whisk in the fresh lemon juice until well combined.

04

Step

Carefully temper the egg mixture by slowly ladling about 1 cup of the hot soup broth into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. This step is crucial for a smooth, creamy texture.

05

Step

Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining soup. Stir gently to combine.

06

Step

Season with dried dill, granulated garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your preference.

07

Step

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly and the eggs are cooked through. Be careful not to boil the soup, as this can cause the eggs to curdle. (Approximately 3 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth.
If you prefer a thicker soup, add an extra 1/2 cup of rice.
Fresh dill can be substituted for dried dill for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful warmth to the soup.
