Rinse the chicken and remove any giblets. Place it in a snug-fitting pot, adding the neck if available. Add water to cover by about 2.5cm.
Heat until boiling, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 45-60 minutes, removing surface fat as necessary.
Once the chicken reaches 74°C, transfer it to a bowl to cool. Add the rice to the stock, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 20 minutes until tender.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with lemon juice. Slowly whisk in a ladle of hot stock to temper, then continue adding stock until warmed through. Pour the mixture back into the pot, whisking vigorously to achieve a creamy texture.
Either fold the chicken pieces into the soup before serving, or serve the soup with salted chicken on the side.
