This tangy soup is deliciously light and refreshing. It is hearty enough for a winter soup, yet zesty enough to be served in the summer too.
Place the chicken in a large saucepan with the onion, cloves and water. Slowly bring the contents of the pan to the boil, skimming off the foam as it appears. Simmer for 2½—3 hours, or until the meat comes away from the bones easily. Remove from the heat, lift the chicken out of the pan and place on a chopping board. Remove the onion and cloves From the pan with a slotted spoon and discard. Using a carving knife and fork, take the meat off the bones of the chicken and cut or shred into bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones.
Return the chicken pieces to the saucepan add pine nuts and gently bring the soup back to the boil. Cover the pan and simmer the soup for 15—20 minutes. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until frothy. Add 4-5 ladlefuls of the soup to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously after each addition. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until evenly combined. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.
