Prepare the Broth

Whisk the Eggs and Lemon Juice
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined and frothy.

Temper the Egg Mixture
Slowly ladle about 1 cup of the hot chicken broth into the egg and lemon mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents them from curdling.

Combine and Thicken
Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the remaining chicken broth, whisking continuously. Stir in the cornstarch and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly.
