Boil 2 chicken thighs with 6 cups water over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Remove and shred the chicken, then strain the broth so no small bone fragments remain.
Cook half a tea glass of vermicelli in the strained chicken broth for 8 minutes.
Whisk 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon flour, and the lemon, then temper with hot broth.
Pour in the thickener in a thin stream and cook over low heat for 4 minutes so the creamy texture does not curdle.
Add the shredded chicken, adjust the salt, and ladle into hot serving bowls.
💡 Tip: Warm the egg-lemon thickener with hot chicken broth first so the egg does not curdle in the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with black pepper and lemon.
