EGG LEMON SOUP
The authentic version of this Greek soup is a chicken soup with an egg and lemon enrichment stirred in at the end. But I don't hesitate to make it using garlic broth, thereby transforming a Greek classic into a refreshing, lemony twist on garlic soup.

SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)
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! Sometimes he would add chopped, cooked chicken to the soup, and other times he would serve it plain. This is a taste of my childhood.

EGG LEMON SOUP
Steps:
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the orzo, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pasta is done. Turn off the heat, keeping the pan in its place.
- Separate the eggs, and place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat just until foamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue beating until well mixed, another 2 minutes. Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon juice. Slowly add about 3 cups of the hot chicken broth (at this point, use a thermometer to make sure the broth is just below 160 degrees F), beating as you add the broth in a very thin stream.
- Using a wooden spoon or large fork, vigorously stir the orzo and remaining hot broth in an S pattern. Then quickly pour all of the egg lemon mixture into the saucepan while stirring. 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.

QUICK VEGETARIAN EGG-LEMON SOUP WITH BROWN RICE
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.

EGG AND LEMON SOUP (THE WAY MY CHILDREN LIKE IT)
If I ask the kids to choose what they would like for dinner - they always ask for "Egg & Lemon soup... the one with the meat balls" I have tampered with this recipe so much that the print-out is all but scribble. We like our soup with zing & custard like thickness.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, Meyer lemons, and ramps add the best flavor to this soup. Look for organic, local ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't skip the parboiling step: This step helps to remove the bitterness from the ramps and makes them more tender.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: A flavorful broth will make all the difference in this soup. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Temper the eggs before adding them to the soup: This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling. Slowly whisk the hot broth into the beaten eggs, then stir the mixture back into the pot.
- Serve the soup immediately: Egg and lemon soup is best served fresh. The eggs will continue to cook in the soup, so it's important to serve it as soon as it's ready.
