(This is traditionally made with chicken broth, but given the boy's pescatarian diet, I used vegetable broth instead.  You can use uncooked rice and let simmer (before adding the eggs) until the rice is tender, I just had some cooked rice in the fridge.  Some folks add diced or shredded chicken to the soup.  The spinach worked out well.)
