Ingredients

3 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed chicken and rice soup (recommended: Campbell's)
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth (recommended: Swanson's)
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cooked, store-bought roasted chicken breast, shredded
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

In a medium pot, over medium-high heat, add condensed chicken and rice soup, chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to simmer.

In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg yolks. Slowly stir in 1/4 cup of the hot broth into the egg yolks to prevent curdling. Gradually pour the egg yolk mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. Stir in shredded chicken and heat through. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a pinch of fresh parsley.

Meh.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It tasted about like I sqeezed a lemon into some canned soup. It was just fine, but nothing to add to the recipe box. I... used fresh lemon juice, so the lemon flavor was a little strong. I had to add some extra broth to tone it down. Read more

SOUPER EASY!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last weekend and thought it was perfect... tastes NOTHING like a can soup. The lemon gave it a refreshing zing.... My husband thought it was too much lemon so next time I make it I will only put half of the amount called for in the recipe. Thanks Sandra!!!Read more

Not the soup of my childhood
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I was a kid, the best part of going to a family wedding was that everyone always had lemon rice soup on the menu.... Unfortunately, this soup did not live up to my memory. I cut the recipe in thirds which was a good amount. It was a nice soup and not too salty as some have said but it wasn't the soup I remember.Read more
