Directions:

1. Bring broth to simmer in a soup pot.
2. Add the rice and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Whip the egg yolks in a large bowl until thickened. Whip the egg whites in another bowl to soft peaks. Fold the whites into the yolks.
4. Add the egg mixture to the simmering broth, whipping constantly for a minute or less. The soup will become frothy and thick.
5. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
6. Serve in heated bowls.
