Creamy egg and lemon chicken soup

Many call this dish a “cure-all”, either because they used to eat it when they were sick, or because it really made them feel better. It is a full meal that can contribute in the nourishment of a body without upsetting the stomach as it is easily digested. With the vegetables and chicken chopped, children learn to chew small and soft bites, without posing a choking hazard.
