Directions
Separate and wash all lamb organs. Using a pencil or skewer, turn intestines inside out and rinse thoroughly. Parboil organs, drain, and cut into bite-size pieces. Parboil again for 5 minutes in clean boiling water, rinse well, and drain. Freeze, refrigerate or cook.
Combine organs, 1/2 C. water, dill, green onions and lettuce in a 6-qt. pot. Cook until water is absorbed. Add butter and tomato sauce, stir for 2 minutes. Add 3 C. water or stock, cover, and simmer until tender. Near the end, add salt and pepper.
Beat eggs in blender or mixer until fluffy. Gradually beat in lemon juice and 1 C. hot broth from soup, until well-blended. Return mixture to pot, stirring constantly over low heat until soup thickens. Allow 10 minutes to rest and serve.
