I love the lemon rice soup at a great little Greek cafe near where I live and I wanted to try recreating it at home, but when I saw the tofu in this ingredient list I had a good laugh. I hope Zeus strikes the food editor who posted this with a lightening bolt...Thanks for the TRUE recipe Selgreco59!

Cook rice in chicken broth as advised above (or for added flavour boil your own chicken first and eat with the soup later) Whisk 2 egg whites to creamy and fluffy and it rises. Addegg yolks and beat in well to make creamy Slowly add the lemon juice (1-2 lemons medium sized) Slowly add mixture 1 cup of cold water and warm broth/soup (mixed together so it is luke warm and egg doesn't curdle) Blend in slowly. Add another half cup of broth. Slowly pour this mixture into the rice soup/chicken stock. Stirring till it is incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
