8 cups chicken broth.


3 medium eggs.

3. Remove from fire.





4. In a blender, beat the three eggs, slowly add the lemon juice to the eggs.





5. Add one cup of chicken broth, do not stop blending. The constant blending is the secret to prevent curdling of this delicious soup.





6. When the eggs and broth are well mixed, pour this mixture back into the remaining broth and rice.
