Instructions
Step 1
In a Dutch Oven pot, add 500 ml water and 1.5 liters chicken broth. Add chicken and bring to boil for 5 - 7 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce to medium heat. Add 2 ½ cups of rice to the pot. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until rice is done.
Step 3
In two bowls, separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Step 4
Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy. Add the yolks and continue beating until mixed well.
Step 5
Remove about 1 ½ cups of hot broth. Gradually add the broth to the egg mixture. MAKE SURE YOU MIX THE BROTH QUICKLY AND WELL TO AVOID 'COOKING' THE EGG. USE A HAND MIXER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.
Step 6
Add the broth/egg mixture to the soup pot and MIX QUICKLY AND WELL with a spoon. Keep stirring until you are sure the egg/broth is completely blended. The soup will be thick and foamy on top.
Step 7
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Add lemon juice to taste.
Note:
Step 9
When reheating the soup, the rice will have absorbed much of the broth. Add extra chicken broth to obtain the desired consistency. Enjoy!
