Avgolemono Soup

Charity says "The soup is really good if you add a little bit of pepper to it while cooking... and then freshly ground on top when served in the bowl."

8 cups chicken broth
1 cup rice (we use orzo)
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper

To chicken broth, add salt and rice. Brint to a boil. Cover. Simmer for 20 minutes.

In a bowl, beat egg whites until. Add yolks. Beat well. Slowly add lemon juice, beating continuously. Without stopping your beating, slowly add 2 cups of the chicken broth. If you stop beating, you risk curdling the soup. When mixed, pour back into remaining broth and rice. Stir over heat. Do not boil.
