Roast Lemon Chicken And Rice Soup
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 2 lemons, one zested and juiced, one sliced into small wedges
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups grocery rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 eggs (if you want a more avgolemono style soup include the eggs but, if not, omit them. I always prefer more avgolemono style soup because it's one of my most favorite soups of ALL TIME)
- Dill (ideally fresh but dried will do)
- Bring rice, water, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir once, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until rice is cooked and water evaporates, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and set aside.
- Set lemon wedges on a tray and place under the broiler until lightly browned.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven, saute the shallots in pan until translucent.
- Add stock to the pan with the shallots and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in rice and chicken.
- Lightly beat two eggs and combine with the juice of the second lemon in a small bowl, temper into the soup by slowly mixing a little bit of the soup into the bowl with the egg and lemon in order to bring it up to the temperature of the soup. Combine egg mixture into soup.
- Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide soup among 4 to 6 bowls, and garnish with broiled lemon wedges and dill.
