Greek chicken, rice and lemon avgolemono soup

Greek chicken and rice soup, thickened at the end with egg and lemon tempered with hot broth.

This version of avgolemono combines chicken broth, rice, shredded chicken, and the characteristic egg-and-lemon mixture. The rice cooks in the broth; the eggs are then tempered gradually so they can be incorporated without curdling.
