Instructions
-
1Bring broth to boil. Add orzo and cook until tender, 8–10 minutes.
-
2In a bowl, whisk egg yolks until creamy. Stir in lemon juice.
-
3Slowly pour 2–3 ladles of hot broth into the egg-lemon mixture while stirring constantly — temper the eggs!
-
4Stir the tempered egg mixture into the hot (but no longer boiling!) soup.
-
5Stir in Cannabis butter in small pieces until melted. Turn heat to lowest setting.
-
6Add chicken. Soup must NOT boil now — otherwise the eggs will curdle.
-
7Season with salt and white pepper. Top with lemon zest and parsley.
Pro Tips
- The tempering step (Step 3) is the secret — without it, the eggs will curdle.
- Never bring soup back to a boil after adding eggs.
- Stir in Cannabis butter at the end (no more cooking) — THC is preserved.
