Heat water and stock/broth to a boil in a large pot.
Whisk egg yolks in a bowl.
Slowly drizzle 1 c. hot stock into the egg yolks, while continuously whisking to 'temper' the eggs so they won't scramble when mixed with the hot soup.
With heat lowered to medium, slowly whisk eggs into the soup in the pot, whisking/stirring continually. Cook over medium about 5 minutes, stirring continually.
Add chicken, lemon juice, and couscous; stir to heat through. Salt to taste.
Serve with a sprig of mint, black pepper and with lemon wedges on the side if an extra burst of lemon flavor is desired.
4-6 servings.
