Method
0 of 6 done- Finely chop the onion. Heat the Olive Oil in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the rice and a pinch of the salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- While the rice cooks, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it lightly. Gradually whisk in the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- When the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Take a ladleful of the hot broth and very slowly drizzle it into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the egg from scrambling.
- Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining soup, stirring constantly. The soup will thicken slightly and become creamy. Return the pan to a very low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring, to warm through; do not let it boil.
- Season with the remaining salt and the black pepper to taste. Ladle into a bowl, top with the chopped fresh dill, and serve immediately.
