Directions

Prep 15 minCook 60 min
  1. 1

    Rinse the chicken and remove any organs. Place in a pot that fits the chicken snugly. Add the chicken neck if available. Cover with water by about 1 inch.

  2. 2

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes, skimming fat as needed.

  3. 3

    Once the chicken is cooked through to 165°F, transfer it to a bowl to cool. Add rice to the broth and season with salt and pepper. Simmer on low for 20 minutes until rice is tender.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, whisk eggs with lemon juice. Slowly whisk a ladle of hot broth into the eggs to temper them. Gradually add more broth until the egg mixture is heated, then pour back into the pot, whisking briskly to create a creamy soup.

  5. 5

    Add pieces of chicken to the soup before serving, or serve the soup with salted chicken on the side.
