Greek Lemon Soup, Avgolemono, Easy



Avgolemono is delicious hot, room temperature, even chilled. The best part is that it takes only minutes to make.
The recipe is below ⇊⇊

Greek Lemon Soup, Avgolemono

If using store-bought broth, add a bay leaf and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of onion, celery, and carrot in equal amounts. Sweat the vegetables over low heat in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This is called a Mirepoix.

6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup of long-grain rice, 175g
3 egg yolks
4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
chopped parsley or dill to garnish

Rinse the rice to remove the starches, and set aside.
Pour broth into a large pot over high heat. When the broth comes up to a boil, add the rice and allow the broth to return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. When the rice is cooked, about 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat.
In a separate bowl lightly beat the egg yolks with the lemon juice, then add the hot chicken broth and whisk together. Add the now warmed egg yolk mixture to the soup and gently stir together to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Serve immediately with a garnish of parsley or dill.
