Instructions

• Heat a deep saucepan over high heat. Add a little olive oil and brown the chicken on both sides, starting with the skin side. Once ready, remove and set aside.
• In the same pot, add the onion, carrot, and potatoes and sauté until the vegetables are soft, without changing color.
• Return the chicken to the pot and add the bay leaf, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Remove the chicken, add the rice, and continue boiling. While the rice is cooking, debone the cooked chicken.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl for a few minutes. Add corn flour, if using, and as much lemon juice as desired. Seasoning and beat until the mixture is homogeneous.
• Slowly pour a ladleful of the soup into the egg mixture, to raise the temperature of the eggs, then pour the mixture into the pot. Simmer over low heat for a few minutes until the soup thickens, stirring constantly.
• Serve the soup in deep plates, placing the chicken pieces on top.

Notes

Chef’s tip: Adding corn flour prevents the soup from curdling easily.
