Ingredients
- 4 chicken legs
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 celery sticks
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger
- 1 inch piece of turmeric root
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 34fl oz or 1L of water
- 3 egg yolks
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions
Heat the olive oil in a pot and brown the chopped onion for 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir for another minute.
Add the chicken legs and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, grated ginger, and grated turmeric roots (you do not need to remove the skin). Add the salt and pepper, cover with water. Bring to the boil and lower the heat. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
Before serving, heat the soup up. Whisk the 3 egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Using a ladle, add some of the soup liquid into the bowl and mix quickly, allowing the eggs not to curdle.
Pour the mix into the pot and stir well.
Remove the chicken and using two forks, pull the meat from the bone and shred it slightly. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir in.
Your soup is ready to serve!

Are there any freezing options with this soup?
If you are freezing, freeze without the egg and add the egg after defrosting as you will notice a change in texture and potentially taste.
IF you are preparing in advance, how does the egg yolks steps get impacted? Is it the same and then you can store it after that? (or freeze it?)
The soup will keep for 5 days in the fridge and the texture should not be impacted, however if you freeze it with the egg in, then it might be.
