Pour 1 quart of chicken stock into a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Once the stock is boiling, add 1/4 cup of white rice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 20 minutes.

In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs in a 2-cup measuring cup.

Temper the eggs by drizzling in a little hot stock from the soup until the eggs are warmed through without scrambling them.

Remove the soup from heat and whisk the tempered eggs into the soup to create a creamy texture.

Add the cooked chicken, fresh dill, and the juice of half a lemon to the soup.

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary.
