Photo: Lemony Egg Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rice
- 2 eggs
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock, water, and rice to a simmer. Cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs until light yellow. Whisk a few tablespoons of the soup into the eggs. Then slowly add the egg mixture to the soup, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the soup reaches 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Add in the lemon juice and soy sauce, stir to combine, and serve garnished with the green onions and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

I did alter slightly by adding a little minced garlic. My family loves it! Sorry to contradict you llu58, but I have this episode on tape and just watched it again today when it was on. She never said anything about rinsing the rice for the soup. In fact she made a point of saying she just added the rice to the broth but rinsed the rice for the side dish before she put it in her rice cooker. Still playing around with her sesame chicken, so many up and down reviews on that one!

I suspect that the reason some of the reviews have very thick soup is that they didn't rinse the rice. In the episode I just watched yesterday, Melissa made a point of instructing viewers to rinse the rice before cooking to remove some of the additional starch.

I followed the recipe to the letter; taste was excellent. But the texture was very very very thick and I ended up with something thicker than any chowder I've ever had.
The second time I made this, I reduced the amount of rice by half, and used 1/4 cup. The result this time was: soup! I also added some diced chicken, and celery, turning this from a side dish into the main course.
