I changed the recipe a little-- I used unsalted chicken broth, no soup base, about 1/8 cup more lemon juice, and 1/2 of a leftover roasted chicken. I also used only 6 egg yolks and I think that may have still been a bit much egg. Finally, I only used about 2 tbsp of flour, and I mixed it with water, not butter or margarine. With these changes, the soup was rich, yummy, and a great use of leftover chicken!
