Keep the pan warm over very low heat, and stir in an S pattern until the soup thickens slightly and the froth is broken down. Serve hot.

SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)



Soupa Avgolemono (Egg-Lemon Soup) image

This tasty soup is very popular in Greece and Cyprus. I remember my father making it on chilly winter days, especially when there were colds and flu in the household!

QUICK VEGETARIAN EGG-LEMON SOUP WITH BROWN RICE



Quick Vegetarian Egg-Lemon Soup with Brown Rice image

I hesitate to call this vegetarian egg-lemon soup avgolemono because purists will insist that soup must contain chicken, and this one does not. This incredibly simple, wonderfully quick, and surprisingly nutritious recipe is perfect to make on cold, wet weeknights. My 7-year-old loves this very lemony, creamy soup, and so do I. If you want a thicker soup, add another half-cup of rice. If you aren't vegetarian, you can saute a few shrimp to add to your bowl.
