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).
Step 6
Season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste.
Step 7
Serve the Avgolemono Soup hot, garnished with fresh dill for a burst of flavor.
Step 8
Enjoy this European classic as a soul-warming soup!
