pour 2 cups of reserved chicken stock slowly, while  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

chunks and add it to the soup. Or use the chicken  to make chicken
