To prepare a delicious chicken soup, we start by separating and washing the green lettuce leaves under running water. It is important to ensure they are clean, and then we tear or cut them into suitable pieces so that they integrate perfectly into the soup and add a touch of freshness. Next, we take the chicken breast and slice it. We heat oil in a pan and lightly brown the meat slices until they acquire a golden color and an appetizing texture. Once the chicken breast is ready, we remove it from the pan and set it aside.
In the remaining oil, we add finely chopped onion and sauté it until it softens, releasing its enticing aroma. Finally, we add the peeled and pressed garlic, which will give an intense and savory flavor to our dish. Separately, in another pan, we sauté the carrot and parsley root, both peeled and sliced thinly, in a little oil. This step is essential, as the greens will add natural sweetness and a pleasant aroma to the soup.
After all the ingredients are cooked, we place the onion and vegetables in a larger pot, add 2.5-3 liters of water and the browned chicken. We season with a little salt and let it simmer covered on low heat until the meat is well cooked and tender. About five minutes before considering the soup done, we add the rice and the previously prepared lettuce. These ingredients will contribute to the consistency and flavors of our soup.
Meanwhile, we prepare the liaison by mixing the egg yolks with yogurt in a bowl. This mixture will provide a pleasant creaminess to the soup. Before adding it to the finished soup, we dilute the liaison with warm soup, adding gradually to avoid the sudden heat that could coagulate the eggs. Once we achieve a uniform consistency, we pour the diluted liaison into the pot with the soup in a thin stream, continuously stirring to integrate perfectly.
Finally, we adjust the taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, adding our preferred greens. We let the soup simmer on low heat just until it starts to boil. Once it reaches the desired temperature, we can set it aside. This savory soup is served warm but is just as tasty cold, making it perfect for hot days or for a comforting meal.
