Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks, mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, and dice the carrot, celery and parsley on a cutting board.
2
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat and sweat the onion, carrot and celery for 4 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
3
Stir the garlic, cumin, turmeric and lemon juice into the pot; cook over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the chicken chunks to the pot and sear over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, turning once, until the outside turns opaque and lightly golden.
5
Pour in the chicken stock, add the rice and beans, and simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 18 minutes until the rice is tender and chicken shreds easily with a fork.
6
Ladle a small amount of hot broth into the beaten egg while whisking constantly, then stir the tempered egg back into the pot to prevent curdling.
7
Plate
Ladle the soup into a deep bowl, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, then serve hot.
