Step-by-Step Instructions

Add the chicken broth, water, red onion, tomato, carrot, poblano pepper, orzo, and sliced lamb liver to a large pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Season lightly with salt, paprika, and black pepper.

Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the orzo is nearly tender and the vegetables have softened. Stir in the mint, cilantro, lovage, oregano, and garlic, then continue simmering for 15 minutes more.

Taste and check that the liver is fully cooked and tender. Slowly drizzle in the beaten egg while stirring the soup gently to create delicate ribbons. Adjust the seasoning to taste, then ladle into bowls and serve hot.
