5 small chicken drum sticks (skin removed)
4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
¾ cup long grain white rice (I use Basmati rice)
2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
2 large celery ribs chopped
2 tbsp Vegeta All Purpose Seasoning and Soup Mix (see note) or chicken bouillon granules
1 medium lemon juiced
3 egg yolks
½ cup chopped fresh dill

To a large, 5-quart pot, add chicken, potatoes, carrots, celery and rice. Fill the pot with clean water and bring to a boil. Add the seasoning and cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes, until chicken and vegetables are cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low. With thea help of a fork, remove the chicken out offrom the soup and leave it in a cold place for 5 minutes to cool down. Meanwhile, prepare an egg yolk mixture.
In a medium sized bowl, beat the lemon juice with egg yolks. Set aside.
Shred the cooled chicken. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices from the chicken plate back to the pot.
Ladle 1 cup of hot broth into the bowl with the egg yolk mixture and stir a little. Add 1 more cup of hot broth to the bowl and stir again.
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot. Stir well to blend. Taste for seasoning.
Add the dill, stir it again, cover with a lid and let the soup rest for 10 minutes before serving.
