Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

There is comfort food, and then there is comfort soup.  What is more prescribed for feeling under the weather or just plain down in the dumps than chicken soup.  How can you make it healthier, add lemon juice.  This soup really hits the spot if you are not 100% and it's really pretty easy to make.  Use the shredded chicken from my earlier post here, and it's a snap. The original recipe comes from The Stuff I Love blog and the recipe is one you will always want to keep on hand. 

Combine the chicken, celery, onion and parsley together and cover with water.  Cook until the chicken is done, about 10 minutes.  Drain and reserve the broth, shred the chicken and discard the vegetables.

Add the chicken base back to the broth and cook until well blended.  Remove from heat.  Slowly, temper the beaten eggs by adding a few tablespoons of the broth to the eggs and mixing well.  Do this about 5 times.  Mix the tempered eggs into the broth and then add the rice and chicken. Stir in the lemon juice and bring back to medium heat until ready to serve.
