1 small yellow onion, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 cup rice
Salt and pepper
2 cooked boneless chicken breast pieces, shredded ( about 6 to 8 oz store-bought rotisserie chicken will work)

1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and until they’re translucent.
2. Add mushrooms and saute for another 3-4 minutes before adding garlic. Stir and continue to cook for 1 more minute.

4. Place eggs, lemon juice and zest in a blender and quickly blend to combine.
5. While the blender is running, stream in 1 cup of the hot soup with rice and blend for 30 seconds.
