Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the stock in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to just under a boil.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
Step 3
Take 1/4 to 1/3 cup of stock from the pot and slowly add it to the egg-lemon mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the stock is fully combined with the egg-lemon mixture.
Step 4
Add the tempered mixture back to the remaining stock, along with the rice and chicken.
Step 5
Bring the soup to a brief boil then lower it to a simmer. Let it cook for a minute or two (until it has thickened slightly).
Step 6
Season the soup with salt and pepper, garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm
