    1      quart         chicken stock
      1/4  cup           rice
    3      tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
    3      whole         eggs

      Bring chicken stock to a boil. Add rice and simmer 20 minutes. Beat eggs
 with lemon juice until thick. Beat in 1/4 cup hot chicken stock. Over low
 heat, slowly beat egg mixture into chicken-rice soup. Cook two to three
 minutes, until soup thickens slightly. Be very careful not to boil. Season to
 taste and serve at once.
