Bring broth and dill to a boil in a large saucepan. Add orzo. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until orzo is slightly tender. Remove from heat.

Place eggs and juice in a blender; process until smooth. Remove 1 cup of broth from pan with a ladle, making sure to leave out orzo. With blender on, slowly add broth; process until smooth.
