Ingredients

8 cups chicken broth

4 large eggs

2 lemons, juiced

1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Grated Parmesan

Directions

  1. Bring broth to a boil in a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, lemon juice and lemon pepper until well blended, then slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot broth. Lower heat; add egg mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over low heat, stirring until heated through. (Don't boil! Eggs will curdle.)

My yoga teacher gave me lemons from her backyard lemon tree.  I looked up Robert"s Lemon Egg Drop Soup.  It was healthy, quick, easy to prepare and delicious!  I saved enough to share with my yoga teacher and printed out the recipe for her to try. She will love that I put her soup in a glass mason jar, since she doesn't like plastic containers! It keeps the flavor fresh.
