Avgolemono Soup Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add Chicken and Rice

   Reduce the heat to medium and add the shredded chicken and cooked rice to the pot. Simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.

3. 3

   Whisk the Eggs and Lemon Juice

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

4. 4

   Temper the Egg Mixture

   Slowly ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg and lemon mixture while whisking continuously. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

5. 5

   Combine and Heat

   Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the soup, stirring gently. Heat the soup over low heat for another 5 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.

6. 6

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh dill just before serving.
