Ingredients
- 4 containers (32 ounces each) unsalted chicken stock
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ cups long-grain white rice
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fergolicious BBQ SPG LUV All-Purpose Blend
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
- In a large, heavy bottomed stockpot, heat the stock over medium-high heat until simmering. Add the chicken breasts and simmer 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reaches 165°F. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cool slightly and shred with two forks.
- In the same stockpot with stock, add the rice and simmer 8 minutes or until just tender, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, lemon juice, Fergolicious Blend and zest. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
- Gradually ladle 1 cup of the hot stock-rice mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly, then add the rice-egg mixture back to the stockpot, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes or until the soup is slightly thickened, whisking frequently. Add the shredded chicken to the soup. Makes about 14 cups.
- Serve soup topped with the parsley and pepper.
