- 4 stick celery
- 1 fennel

- 1 parsnip
- 1 orzo
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 juice of lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 dill
- 2 bouillon cubes
- Clean, peel and chop all vegetables.
- Add to large pot of boiling water with bouillon cubes.
- I used chicken bouillon, but of course you can use actual broth or vegetable bouillon/broth.
- Bring vegetables to boil and then add orzo.
- Add salt, pepper, oregano, dill and parsley.
- Boil till orzo is ready
- When orzo is ready, lower heat.
- Squeeze lemon juice and set aside.
- Separate egg yolk from the white.
- In a bowl whisk egg white till frothy.
- Add yolk in next and continue to beat.
- Then add in lemon juice and beat more.
- This is the important step!
- We don't want any curdling so be careful.
- After you whisk together the egg - lemon sauce, gradually add in about five tablespoons of the soup into bowl and continue to beat.
- Then pour in the egg lemon mixture and stir gently to distribute it into the soup.
- It will be frothy on top and as your stir it will take on a nice color and thicken.
- Make sure not to let the soup boil.
