It’s getting chilly outside and it’s time for soup. Lemon Rice Soup! I grew up eating this soup and it really hits the spot on a chilly day. I enjoyed my bowl with a big piece of fresh French bread from my local @HEB. I hope you’ll give it a try!

Ingredients
3 quarts water
2-3 chicken leg quarters
3/4 cup Arborio rice
1 carrot
2 stalks of celery
3 lemons
1 medium yellow onion-diced
2 tbsp chicken bouillon
2 eggs

  6. Hey, another Hammond boy, here. Moved out of NWI area a few years ago, and was recently craving lemon rice soup (from the Commander in Munster), so I thought I'd look for a recipe here on YouTube. Thanks for thre great vid, I'll definitely be making this soon!

  7. I'm from East Chicago. I lived in Texas for a bit but now I live in TN. My search for a LMR recipe led me to you! One of my favorites!

  8. From NW IN and this soup is fave. Great tutorial, wish I had seen your video b4 I made another recipe. Will make yours next

  9. I gasped when you said you from northwest Indiana! Guess where I’m watching this video!

  10. Greetings from Bangalore. Last night I made a slightly different version of this soup, in that I used broken barley instead of rice. I also added few finely chopped vegetables to top the soup. It was a trial and error experiment as I hadn't seen this video till now, but the process was close to your lemon rice soup and it came out very well.

    After seeing your video I understand that partly the soup was so tasty because of the starch barley. And your video gives me confidence to make it again.

    Thank you for a very nicely explained recipe.

  11. This soup looks like a keeper, love the carmelized onions, & the extra flavor of boulion added at a certain time, & the added zest & parseley at end thx Big Time Chef

  12. Looks delicious.

    You should try adding maybe 5 cloves of chopped garlic to the soup pot when you add the eggs and lemon.

    And at the very end you should add chopped green onions, maybe two bunches. They are more like a garnish for the bowl.

  13. Sir, your video was so boring. That background music just killed the vibe. I didn't finish watching your video ..

  14. Im from Michigan and i have to drive 45 minutes to this one middleastern diner to get it. But its definitely worth it, im making it tonight for my family but i will be tweaking it because I hate onions eew.

  15. I don’t know what connections you got to the Greeks or if the ancestors spoke to your spirit but sir, thank you on behalf of the NWI region 😭🫡

  16. Love that shoutout to NWI. I am a Valparaiso resident. I don't understand why but everyone up here likes this soup, including my wife, but today I will be making some and trying it. Thanks for sharing brother!
