juice with one cup of reserved chicken stock. Set aside. In large mixing
bowl beat eggs on high speed for 4 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and
continue beating while you slowly add lemon juice and stock mixture. Into

continuously mixing. Turn mixer off. Pour egg and lemon mixture slowly into
saucepan of rice and stock, stirring continually. Continue to stir for one
minute while soup cooks. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve
