Simple & Easy Portuguese Chicken Soup (Canja de Galinha)

This is a delicious recipe for Canja de Galinha, or Portuguese Chicken Soup. This is a very traditional and popular Portuguese dish which utilizes a bunch of healthy ingredients to make a really hearty soup. While this soup is made at any time for any occasion, I have almost always had this made for me whenever I have been sick, and let me tell you it works. The combination of the eggs, rice, chicken, garlic, and lemon juice together rejuvenates your body with great nutrition while still tasting absolutely delicious. I like mine with extra lemon juice once it is made for some extra flavor, but that is up to you. Try this dish out, we are sure you will love it if you have never had it before, and tell us what you think!
