Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large pot, combine 6 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1 finely chopped onion, and 1 chopped celery stick. Add 2 tablespoons of chicken soup base and 1 teaspoon of ground white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of margarine with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste. Gradually stir this paste into the simmering soup, ensuring no lumps form. Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg yolks until light and creamy. Carefully whisk in a ladle of the hot soup to gently warm the yolks without cooking them, then slowly add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the pot while stirring vigorously.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of cooked rice and 2 cups of diced cooked chicken into the pot. Heat the mixture on low, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with lemon slices. Serve immediately while warm.
