SOUPA AVGOLEMONO
Adapted from: Stella Liacouras's recipe in 3/5/85 Woman's Day

2 quarts (8 cups) Chicken Broth

½ cup uncooked long-grain white rice

2 large eggs

1/3 cup strained fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Bring broth to a full boil in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir constantly until broth returns to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 minutes or until rice is tender.

Meanwhile to make avgolemono mixture, whisk eggs and lemon juice in a small bowl. Slowly stir 1 cup of hot broth into egg mixture, then stir into saucepan. Stir over low heat until soup coats a wooden spoon. Be sure soup does not boil.

Taste soup; add salt and pepper if needed.

Makes 2 ½ quarts (10 cups) for 6 servings.


Serving Ideas: Garnish with thin lemon slices and fresh dill.

Comments: You can omit parsley from Basic Chicken Broth recipe, add fresh dill instead.
