It is one of the tastiest and most popular chicken soup recipes - chicken soup a la grec - it really is flavourful, delicious and hearty. I enjoyed the one I cooked, a combination of several recipes seen on the internet and, I'd say, the most delicious one.

Peel and wash the vegetables.
Clean the chicken (I also skinned it), cut into pieces, add in a soup pot and fill with enough water to completely cover the chicken.
Place the pot over heat and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, skim off the foam with a spoon and, when it comes to a boil, add the veggies (only one carrot). Cover with a lid and boil for about 1 hour over low heat.
After the soup boiled, strain the liquid into a different bowl and transfer the chicken and the veggies to a separate bowl.
I washed the soup pot (but it's optional), I placed it over heat again, added a little oil and braised the finely grated carrots for 5 minutes, stirring periodically.
Pour the soup back to the pot with the braised carrots and bring to a boil. Optionally, you can stir in 1-2 tbsp rice.
Remove the bones, cut chicken into medium sized pieces and put back in the soup pot.
(You can use the boiled vegetables the way you want, I didn't use them any more.)
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk.
Tip into sour cream, whisk well.
Remove soup from heat and, slowly, add a couple of ladles, one by one, to the egg/sour cream mixture. This way the mixture will keep its good consistency and uniform colour.
Place the pot back over heat, bring to a boil, add salt and lemon to taste, it depends on how sour you want the soup to be - I used the juice from 1 lemon.
Season with pepper and chopped parsley, stir and turn the heat down.
It is served warm and with a lot of appetite!
Enjoy!
