Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Whisk the Egg and Lemon Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined. Slowly add a ladle of the hot broth to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot of simmering broth, stirring constantly. This will create a creamy texture.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken and Seasonings

    Stir in the shredded chicken, chopped dill, and chopped scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Heat Through

    Allow the soup to heat through for about 5 minutes, but do not let it boil, as this may cause the eggs to curdle.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the Avgolemono soup into bowls, garnish with additional dill and scallions if desired, and serve hot.
