SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)



Soupa Avgolemono (Egg-Lemon Soup) image

This tasty soup is very popular in Greece and Cyprus. I remember my father making it on chilly winter days, especially when there were colds and flu in the household! Sometimes he would add chopped, cooked chicken to the soup, and other times he would serve it plain. This is a taste of my childhood.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 quarts chicken broth
2/3 cup orzo
3 eggs
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the orzo, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pasta is done. Turn off the heat, keeping the pan in its place.
  • Separate the eggs, and place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat just until foamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue beating until well mixed, another 2 minutes. Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon juice. Slowly add about 3 cups of the hot chicken broth (at this point, use a thermometer to make sure the broth is just below 160 degrees F), beating as you add the broth in a very thin stream.
  • Using a wooden spoon or large fork, vigorously stir the orzo and remaining hot broth in an S pattern. Then quickly pour all of the egg lemon mixture into the saucepan while stirring. Keep the pan warm over very low heat, and stir in an S pattern until the soup thickens slightly and the froth is broken down. Serve hot.

EGG LEMON SOUP



Egg Lemon Soup image

The authentic version of this Greek soup is a chicken soup with an egg and lemon enrichment stirred in at the end. But I don't hesitate to make it using garlic broth, thereby transforming a Greek classic into a refreshing, lemony twist on garlic soup.

AVGOLEMONO



Avgolemono image

Growing up, Avgolemono was like our Greek penicillin. The minute anyone felt a little bit under the weather, a pot immediately went on the stove.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3 1/2- to 4-pound whole chicken
1 bay leaf
3 quarts low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup orzo
Kosher salt
Grated zest and juice of 3 lemons (about 2 tablespoons zest and 1/3 cup juice)
2 tablespoons instant flour (such as Wondra)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the chicken, bay leaf and broth in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and let it cool.
  • Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Clean out any scum in the bottom of the pot and add the broth back to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Check for seasoning here, as you may need to add a few teaspoons salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice and the flour. Whisk the eggs into the lemon mixture. Pour a little of the simmering broth slowly over the egg mixture and whisk it together. Reduce the heat under the broth to low and whisk in the egg mixture. The soup will thicken slightly and become cloudy. Make sure you don't bring the soup to a rolling boil after you add the eggs. Your eggs will scramble, which will leave you with more of an egg drop soup (which would still be fantastic, but just not the same).
  • Chop up the chicken, removing the skin and bones, and add it to the soup along with the dill. Serve immediately.
