Nutritional values

Parboiled rice still contains most of the minerals and vitamins from the outer layers of the grains by a special process. In addition to a lot of zinc and the vitamins A, B12, D and E, the eggs provide above all lecithin, which is important for many metabolic processes.

If you like the soup even more substantial and satisfying, add finely diced and cooked chicken breast fillet.
