Boil the chicken breast with water, carrot, and half of the salt for 20 minutes.
Remove and shred the chicken, cut the carrot small, and strain the broth.
Melt the butter and cook the flour for 2 minutes until its raw smell leaves.
Add the chicken broth gradually to make a smooth soup base.
Add the vermicelli and cook for 9 minutes until tender.
Add the shredded chicken and carrot to the pot.
Loosen the egg yolk and lemon juice with hot soup broth, then add to the pot.
Serve hot with the remaining salt, black pepper, and parsley.
💡 Tip: Loosen the liaison with hot soup broth before pouring it into the pot; added directly, the egg can curdle.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot with lemon, black pepper, and optional toasted bread.
