1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Here is how you make Egg Lemon Soup:

For the Garlic Broth (The base)Smash the garlic heads, separating the cloves. Smash and peel the cloves, and cut in half lengthwise. If necessary, remove the green germ that grows through the center. In a medium saucepan, warm the oil over low heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until the outside is translucent and the garlic is soft. Do not let the garlic brown. Add 8 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The garlic will be very tender. If using the broth on its own, season to taste.1. Bring the garlic broth to a simmer and season as desired with salt and pepper. Add the rice and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. 2. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and beat in the lemon juice. 3. Distribute the optional broccoli among 4 soup bowls. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot broth into the lemon/egg mixture and whisk together. Making sure that the soup is not boiling, stir the egg mixture back into the soup and turn off the heat. Stir for a minute or two, taste and adjust seasonings. Add the parsley, and serve.
