Prepared daily, always fresh Avgolemono is the national soup of Greece. Lemon chicken, rice, carrots, onions and celery. Served with side of pita bread.

In a large pot, add the chicken breast and cover it with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Prepare the Chicken

While the chicken is cooking, dice the carrots, onion, and celery into small pieces. Set aside.

Chop the Vegetables

In the same pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the long-grain rice and shredded chicken and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

Add Chicken Broth

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.

Prepare the Avgolemono Mixture

Once the rice is cooked, ladle a cup of hot broth from the soup into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs. This will prevent them from curdling.

Temper the Eggs

Slowly pour the tempered egg-lemon mixture back into the pot, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Combine Everything

Ladle the Avgolemono soup into bowls and serve hot, accompanied by pita bread on the side.
