• In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and most of the lemon juice, reserving some to add later as needed. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Once combined, ladle in some hot stock to temper the egg mixture, whisking constantly and adding the hot liquid slowly. Very slowly, add the warm whipped egg/lemon mixture into the pot, whisking constantly to prevent any curds or clumps from forming. Continue to cook over medium-low to medium heat, whisking, until the soup thickens, about 10 minutes more.
• Add the shredded chicken and any reserved juices to the soup. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and add additional lemon juice if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley.

CHICKEN LEMON RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel the skin from the chicken thighs and set aside. Cut and remove the bone from each thigh and set aside. Cut and remove excess fat and discard. Store thigh meat in a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place chicken skin, bones, and other remains in a large pot. Add carrots, onion, rosemary, thyme, and salt. and add enough water to cover everything, about 5 cups. Simmer for at least 4 hours.
• Strain solid ingredients through a fine-mesh sieve into a container that can have a sealed lid. Allow to cool somewhat on the counter, then move to the refrigerator.
• Cool for at least 4 hours, until the fat separates from the stock. Use a spoon or paper towel to remove excess fat from the top of the stock.
• Heat up stock on the stove over medium heat for a few minutes. If necessary, pour through a sieve again. The broth will be cloudy, which is totally normal.
• Bring stock to a boil, then add rice. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is softened.
• Add the oil to a pan on medium heat. Cut the chicken into half-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken on both sides until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside and cover until ready to use.
• Whisk eggs and lemon juice in a separate container. Stream a few ounces of the stock to the mixture while whisking to prevent scrambling of the eggs. Continue adding stock until about a cup of mixture is created. Reintroduce the mixture to the pot in the same way, streaming while mixing.
• Raise temperature on the pot to medium heat. Add chicken and chopped dill and stir to distribute evenly. Add salt and pepper if needed to season.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Season the chicken with the 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken, and saute until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Remove meat from the pan and pour off any fat left in the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the remaining butter. Add the celery, leeks, and carrots, saute for 10 minutes. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme and bay leaf with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot along with the chicken and broth. Bring the soup to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the chicken and herb bundle. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the soup with a spoon or a ladle. When the chicken is cool enough to handle remove the meat from the bones and cut into 1-inch chunks; add the meat to the soup along with the rice. Cook until the meat and rice are heated through. Season the soup with salt and pepper and chopped parsley. Divide the soup among warm bowls and serve.
