Avgolemono

Ingredients for Avgolemono

• 950ml chicken broth

• 60ml uncooked orzo (or rice or pastina)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 3 eggs

• 45ml lemon juice

How to make Avgolemono

1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil.

2. Add the orzo, rice, or pastina and cook until tender but still al dente, about 7 minutes (20, if using rice). Season with the salt and pepper and reduce heat to low; simmer.

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

4. Ladle about 240ml the hot broth into the egg-and-lemon mixture, then whisk to combine.

5. Add the mixture back to the simmering saucepan. Stir just until the soup becomes opaque and thickens as the eggs cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
