Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put chicken, water, parsley, onion and salt in a large pan and bring to a boil.
  2. Cover pan and let simmer for 45 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken and parsley, discard parsley.
  4. Let chicken cool a bit, so you don't burn yourself, and cut into cubes.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Add rice, carrot and celery to broth and cook for 20 minutes.
  7. Add lemon juice to the soup.
  8. Stir.
  9. Turn off heat.
  10. Beat the eggs and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  11. While whisking, slowly dribble in hot chicken stock- never stop whisking.
  12. Do this until you have used up a couple of ladlefuls of stock.
  13. This tempers the eggs so they do not curdle.
  14. Slowly add egg to the hot soup and give a good stir.
  15. Add chicken and serve, sprinkled with a bit of pepper (if desired).
  16. Note: I would just like to point out that the eggs in this soup are not raw - they are cooked by the hot stock. That is what the tempering process is all about (and to make sure the eggs don't curdle :-) ).
