1 large onion
chicken or veggie stock (I used a couple of quarts)
cooked brown rice (I used about two cups)
fresh spinach (I used a whole bag of fresh)
2 cans garbanzo beans
2 eggs
juice from 2 large lemons
Saute the onion in a little olive oil. Add the chicken or veggie stock, brown rice, garbanzos, and spinach. Let simmer til the spinach cooks down (I used fresh. Frozen would work well, too).
While that simmers, whisk the eggs into the lemon juice. Beat til frothy. Slowly pour into the soup, stirring constantly.
Add freshly ground salt and pepper, or lemon pepper if you like, to taste.
I gave you the amounts I used, but you could adjust this depending on whether you wanted it lighter with more broth and heartier, with more rice.
Enjoy!
We ate this with baked sweet potatoes and bread. Tonight we had it again with roasted beets and a big salad with beet stems chopped very small, grapefruit, and artisan lettuce salad. Great meal.
Thanks to Rachel, who told me while we walked on Tuesday, about the lemony chicken soup she makes. This is my approximation without the chicken.
Sorry. No pretty picture.
