Avgolemono Soup

2/3/2014

 
Avgolemono Soup

5 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
½ cup white rice
¼ to 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs
½ pound chicken breast
Fresh dill

In a large saucepan, bring the broth and water to a boil.

Add the rice and cook for 15 minutes or until tender but still al dente. Season with salt and pepper and reduce heat to low; simmer.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until smooth.

Ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg-and-lemon mixture, then whisk to combine.

Add the mixture back to the simmering saucepan. Add ½ pound of chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces. Stir just until the soup becomes opaque and thickens as the eggs cook and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. 

Add additional salt and pepper if needed, Sprinkle with fresh, minced dill.

Avgolemono Soup is a traditional Greek soup made with chicken broth, rice or orzo, eggs, and lemon juice. When well made, it has a rich citrus flavor and an almost creamy texture from the eggs.

Recipe from The Best of Gourmet, 1988 Edition
