Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 1 bunch baby carrots (about 4 ounces), cut into chunks
- 1 bunch baby turnips (about 4 ounces), quartered lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 8 cups salad greens
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the rice, carrots, turnips and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the rice and vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
Whisk the eggs and 3 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl. Slowly ladle about 1 1/2 cups of the hot broth into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add the shredded chicken to the pot, then whisk in the egg-broth mixture. Return the soup to a gentle simmer, then remove from the heat. Stir in the scallion greens and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Put the salad greens in a large bowl and toss with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the soup.

I was not a fan... followed instructions and everything... the picture makes the soup look so creamy and yummy. It'sot creamy at all (the eggs addition make the soup look white and the flavor did not do much for me. It's very healthy though so I made myself and family eat it up! I won't make it again.

The best chicken soup I've ever had. Rich tasting without being rich in calories. The lemon makes this soup awesome! You will never want another chicken soup.

Very good, easy to make soup. We have made it multiple times and we now bump the rice up to 3/4 cup. The fresh lemon is what makes this recipe so refreshing. Also, it tastes even better reheated in lunches the next day.
