LEMONY EGG SOUP WITH ESCAROLE
This lemon-scented soup, based on a Greek avgolemono, is a warming meal in the depths of winter. Made with good chicken broth, it's familiar and comforting. But fresh lemon adds a sunny brightness while the egg and rice thicken things up, making the broth richer and heartier. To add vegetable matter, I stir some escarole into the soup, letting it wilt until silky and soft. If you like you can substitute spinach or baby kale for the escarole, adding an extra few minutes to the cooking time if using the kale.

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.

HERBED AVGOLEMONO (LEMON-EGG SOUP)
This is a very light and comforting soup. Great for sipping on winter days. I recommend using fresh, whole herbs because it really does wonders for the flavor, and they are easy to strain out at the end. The trickiest part is heating the soup without letting it boil after adding the egg. My recommendation is to keep a mesh strainer on hand so that you can remove any egg solids that do develop from the final product.

Steps:
- Combine stock, lemon rind, thyme and parsley in a large sauce pan. Bring to boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Beat the eggs with the lemon juice. Let the stock cool a bit after it simmers, then whisk a bit of hot stock into the egg mixture.
- Add egg mixture to the stock and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. You want to heat the soup enough that it gets hot and thickens a bit, but not so much that it boils.
- When soup is hot pour through a mesh strainer into two bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice 1/4 inch off the top of the bread, and hollow out bottom, discarding the crumb (soft interior) of the loaf. Cut top into 1-inch pieces, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, zest, milk, parsley, and Parmesan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup bread pieces.
- Place hollowed-out bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place prosciutto slices along inside of bread to cover. Slowly pour egg mixture to the brim. Bake until eggs are puffed up and cooked through, 30 to 33 minutes.
- Slice into 2-inch pieces. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: Use fresh lemons and parsley for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Garnish with fresh parsley: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This lemony parsley and egg soup is a light and refreshing soup that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover eggs. The soup is packed with flavor from the lemon, parsley, and eggs, and it is sure to become a favorite in your household.
