Join me and let's see how to make Avgolemono Soup

Instructions:

Step 1

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the Arborio rice and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.

Step 3

Once the rice is tender, reduce the heat to low, and add the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 4

Slowly ladle a cup of hot broth from the pot into the egg and lemon mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the pot while stirring to prevent curdling. Heat the soup on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (do not boil).
