Avgolemono (Greek Сhicken Soup)

by Editorial Staff

An unusual combination of egg and lemon turns a trivial chicken soup into an exclusive one! Prepare Avgolemono Soup at least once and indulge in traditional Greek cuisine! This is delicious!

Ingredients

  • Chicken – 600 g
  • Water – 1 l
  • Bay leaf – 1 pc.
  • Salt to taste
  • Pasta (pasta) orzo (orzo, risoni) – 150 g
  • Lemon – 1 pc.
  • Chicken eggs – 3 pcs.
  • Fresh parsley – 1 sprig

Directions

  1. Avgolemono soup is prepared in chicken broth, while the chicken itself is not used, it can be used for another dish or served on a separate plate with the soup. Orzo (orzo, rizoni) – small pasta, resembling rice in shape.
  2. Let’s cook the chicken broth. I usually cook it like this: I put the chicken meat in a saucepan, add bay leaves, salt to taste, and cook the broth for 25-30 minutes, removing the resulting foam. We take out chicken meat from the finished broth.
  3. Add orzo pasta (risoni) to the chicken broth and cook the soup until the pasta is cooked – 15 minutes.
  4. While the soup is preparing, let’s prepare the main ingredients of the avgolemono soup: a mixture of lemon and eggs. Break eggs into a bowl, squeeze juice from lemon, add juice to eggs.
  5. Mix the mixture well with a whisk until smooth.
  6. IMPORTANT! Now it will be necessary to work with both hands. Scoop up a ladle of broth from the soup, slowly pour the hot broth into the lemon-egg mixture, while working very actively with a whisk, stirring the contents of the bowl so that the egg mass does not curl.
  7. Pour our egg-lemon mixture with a small amount of broth into the chicken soup with a ladle and stir the soup with a whisk.
    IMPORTANT! We warm it up but DO NOT BOIL (!) The soup for another 5-7 minutes. This should be enough time for the soup to thicken and the eggs do not turn into flakes. Remove the soup from the heat.
  8. Pour ready Greek avgolemono soup into portioned plates and serve, garnished with parsley leaves.

Enjoy your meal!
