Ingredients

10
Cups of Water
1
Organic Chicken
1
lime
Juice of 3 limes
5
Celery Stalks (washed and cut in small cubes)
10
Baby Carrots
1
Yellow Onion (full with a cross cut half way)
6
large eggs (organic & cage free)
You will need two people for this job

Directions

1.
Take the skin off the chicken
2.
Rub the chicken with one lime
3.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot
4.
Add the celery and baby carrots
5.
Skim all the fat frequently as the water boils
6.

When the chicken is tender (to your liking) take it out of the pot and shred it
8.

9.
Remove the carrots and celery (serve on a separate plate)
10.
Turn off the heart
11.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl
12.
Ask your helper to slowly ladle the broth into the beaten eggs while you slowly stir. This will cook the eggs gently, texture is key with this soup.
13.
After you have added about 3 soup ladles (slowly) have your helper add the lime juice slowly to the egg/broth blend.
14.
You must stir constantly so the lime does not curdle the mixture.
15.
Add to the soup, stir.
