Avgolemono Soup
Greece
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5L chicken broth
- 100g short-grain rice or orzo
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt & pepper
- Fresh dill for serving
Method
Bring the broth to a boil and add the rice. Lower the heat and simmer until tender. Whisk the eggs vigorously in a bowl until light and frothy, then whisk in the lemon juice.
Slowly ladle a little hot broth into the egg-lemon mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot in a slow, steady stream, stirring gently. Do not let it boil.
Season to taste, ladle into bowls, and finish with dill. Avgolemono is best served the moment it comes together — silky, lemony, and warming.
