I had intended to post a bread recipe today, but last weekend did not go as planned.  Why?  I had a cold coming on and my energy was totally drained.  I feel a lot better today.  I owe it to naps, hot lemonade, cold medication and this easy chicken soup.  Because of the egg in the soup, it reminds me of egg drop soup.

Easy Chicken Soup

2 and 1/2 cups water
2 chicken bullion cubes
2 teaspoons uncooked rice (not instant)
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Add the water and the bullion cubes to a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Stir in the rice, set the stove to low, put a cover on the pot and cook for 20 minutes.

Mix the egg and lemon juice together in a cup. Once they’ve blended slowly pour the egg mixture into the soup. Cook the soup for one more minute on low.

If you happen to have green onions on hand, a few tops added to the soup with the egg mixture is really tasty.
