Steps:
- In a stainless steel bowl, whip the egg yolks with a pinch of salt.
- In a separate stainless steel bowl fitted for a double boiler, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy. Fold the yolks into the whites, blending well.
- Bring a saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler filled with water to a simmer.
- In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch into the lemon juice and whisk into the egg mixture. Put the bowl over the pot of simmering water, whisking constantly. In about 4 minutes, the mixture will lighten in color and the sauce will thicken. Gradually add the reserved cup of hot chicken stock to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue cooking and whisking 2 minutes longer, until the avgolemono thickens. Keep warm if necessary in the double boiler, off the heat. Add to the chicken soup right before serving.
