1
Note: You can use a store-bought stock if you want, but you will need to cook the chicken separately. In this case, skip the stock-making portion and go straight to making the soup.
2
For the stock:
3
Add all the stock ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil. Bring to simmer and cook uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. Strain through a colander and discard the solids. You should get about 8 cups of the stock needed for this soup.
4
For the soup:
5
Take the cooked chicken from the stock and shred 2 cups of it. If you didn't make the stock, cook the chicken.
6
Bring 8 cups of the chicken stock to a boil. In the meantime, combine egg yolks, lemon zest and juice in a bowl. While whisking slowly, add 2 cups of the hot stock. Pour the mixture into the pot with the stock and continue whisking for few minutes more. Do not allow to boil this time.
7
Make individual portions by adding 1/2 cup of the cooked rice, 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken, and 1 - 1/2 cups of the soup. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
