SOUPA AVGOLEMONO
This recipe is from epicurious.com; there was a particular recipe for Avgolemono that one dissatisfied user reviewed and posted this variant instead in the user comments... The user: aka "A Cook from Boston, MA". I have modified some of the directions to be more concise and to be in a more recipezaar format. "I'm 34 and have been making this since I could stand up on the stool in my Yia Yia's kitchen (my grandmother who is now 80 yrs. old). This recipe will make a perfectly balanced salty, rich, filling, comforting soup. I sometimes add more than juice of 3 lemons, as the sourness is the best part of the taste! You should taste lemon, richness of eggs, salt of chicken, and starch of rice, in that order and you've made it perfectly. You can also add thin pieces of shredded chicken meat (pull off bone in strips), although classic recipes don't include chicken, vegetables, garlic or any of the ingredients many reviewers added to "fix" this recipe. Try mine and you'll be hooked for life!" Enjoy! - Frostyfire03530
