Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Rice

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the shredded chicken and cooked rice to the pot. Simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Eggs and Lemon Juice

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and fresh lemon juice until well combined.

  4. 4

    Temper the Egg Mixture

    Slowly ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg and lemon mixture while whisking continuously. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

  5. 5

    Combine and Heat

    Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the soup, stirring gently. Heat the soup over low heat for another 5 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh dill just before serving.
