Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup long grain rice
3 eggs
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed

Directions:

In a large pot, bring the broth, water and 1 teaspoon of the salt to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and simmer until they are just done, about 10 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot; when they are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, stir the rice into the simmering broth. Increase the heat and boil until the rice is almost tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
In a bowl, beat the eggs, lemon juice and the remaining salt until frothy. Remove about 1 cup of the hot broth from the pot. Pour the hot liquid in a thin stream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir until the soup begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Do not let the soup come to a simmer or it may curdle. Return the chicken to the pot and stir in the peas.
