California Farm Chicken Soup with Egg Lemon Sauce

Our California Meyer Lemons are now ripe, they make a great lemon egg sauce which is added to soup with leftover chicken meat and rice to make a full dinner meal.
Before adding the egg lemon sauce, we cool the soup enough to prevent the heat from overcooking the sauce and making chinese egg drop soup instead. Served with pita bread for dipping.
Topped with chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, mint or fresh fennel greens.
