1h 20m
Serves 6
Directions
- 1Place chicken whole in a deep pot with carrot, celery, onion, coriander seeds, and water. Bring to a high boil, then reduce to a high rolling simmer with the lid on.
- 2Cook the chicken for 40 minutes total, salting to taste during the process.
- 3Strain the stock into a medium pot, discard aromatics, and set the chicken aside in the fridge to cool for easier shredding.
- 4Wash the rice thoroughly, add to the strained stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
- 5In a separate clean pot over low heat, whisk the eggs and lemon juice together. Gradually whisk in ladles of the hot chicken stock to emulsify the mixture.
- 6Add the egg-lemon mixture to the main rice pot when the rice is nearly cooked.
- 7Shred the cooled chicken off the bone and add it to the soup, mixing to combine and heating through if necessary.
- 8Finish with fresh dill, black pepper, salt, and a drizzle of EVOO.
