Ensure your chicken stock is simmering before adding the eggs; this is key to cooking the eggs properly.

Add the beaten eggs to the simmering stock slowly while stirring gently to create strands.

Season the mixture with lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Taste the chicken stock and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt if needed.

Bring the soup to a boil before serving to ensure the eggs are fully cooked.

Plate the soup and check the texture; it should be a flavorful broth with strands of egg.

Optionally, adjust the lemon flavor to your taste before serving.
