Time 10m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs, separated
Salt
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup hot chicken stock, reserved from chicken soup Molyvos (see recipe)
Freshly ground white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a stainless steel bowl, whip the egg yolks with a pinch of salt.
  • In a separate stainless steel bowl fitted for a double boiler, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy. Fold the yolks into the whites, blending well.
  • Bring a saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler filled with water to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch into the lemon juice and whisk into the egg mixture. Put the bowl over the pot of simmering water, whisking constantly. In about 4 minutes, the mixture will lighten in color and the sauce will thicken. Gradually add the reserved cup of hot chicken stock to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue cooking and whisking 2 minutes longer, until the avgolemono thickens. Keep warm if necessary in the double boiler, off the heat. Add to the chicken soup right before serving.

This avgolemono soup was a huge disappointment. The broth was bland and watery, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. The rice was undercooked, and the overall flavor of the soup was just terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I definitely won

This avgolemono soup was a bit too sour for my taste. The lemon flavor was overpowering, and it masked the other flavors in the soup. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the rice was mushy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This avgolemono soup was a bit of a miss for me. The broth was too thick and gloppy, and the lemon flavor was overpowering. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the rice was mushy. I think I'll stick to my usual avgolemono recipe in the future.
