Lemon Rice and Chicken Soup

Step 1

Saute veggies: Heat the oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat then add the chopped onion and carrot and cook for about 5 minutes or just until the carrot is tender and the onion is translucent.

Step 2

Add rice and broth: Add the rice and chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.

Step 3

Prepare eggs with lemon juice: Meanwhile in a small bowl beat the egg together with lemon juice.

Step 4

Finish the soup: Add the shredded chicken to the pot, then add about a ladle of the soup broth to the egg mixture and stir. Pour the egg mixture into the soup. You will notice the soup thickening up. Season with salt and pepper as needed and if you feel the soup needs more lemon, add more lemon juice as desired.

Step 5

Garnish and serve: Garnish with lots of dill, with some feta cheese and lemon slices if you prefer, then serve.
