Greek Egg Lemon Soup
- Yield: 8 to 10 servings
When raising my five children, we enjoyed nothing more than trips to the Parthenon Greek Restaurant in Chicago. I tried to duplicate our favorite recipes, including this one, at home.
Ingredients
- 6cups chicken stock
- 1/4cup converted rice
- 2-- eggs, beaten
- -- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1teaspoon salt
- 1/2teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring chicken stock to a simmer. Stir in rice and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is soft.
- Combine eggs with lemon juice. Slowly add juice mixture to simmering broth. To prevent curdling, do not boil. The egg will cook instantly. Season with salt and pepper.
