Total time: 15min Servings: 4
Ingredients :
1.3l good quality chicken broth
2 bay leaves
zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup long grain rice, rinse first
juice of 1 lemon
2 large eggs, room temp
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 :
Step 1 - To a large pot with a lid, add the chicken stock and place on a medium heat. When hot but not boiling, add the rice, bay leaves, lemon zest and pepper.
Step 2 - Give everything a stir and cover.
Step 3 - Bring to a steady simmer and cook the rice for about 10 minutes or until tender.
Step 4 - Discard the bay leaves and remove from the heat.
Step 5 - Make the egg mixture by cracking two eggs into a bowl and whisking until combined and it starts to bubble.
Step 6 - Add the lemon juice, whisking between each half.
Step 7 - Slowly whisk in 3 large spoonfuls of the broth into the egg mixture (make sure the broth isn’t boiling hot at this point). This will help bring it to temperature.
Step 8 - Stir the egg mixture into the pot and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly.
Step 9 - Add the chicken and warm through for a couple of minutes until you reach the desired temperature. Do not simmer or bring to a boil as the soup may curdle.
Step 10 - Serve immediately with sprigs of dill and some extra virgin olive oil.
