EDM Challenge 75 - Recipe

My recipe is ( Avgolemono ) Chicken soup with egg and lemon

This is a classic Greek soup and usually prepared for Greek Easter Saturday after midnight mass. Many people fast for a week before Easter so during the Easter festivities its all about food and eating!

I promised Monica this recipe as she couldnt get enough of this soup when she was staying in Cyprus!

In a large stockpot add fresh chicken and vegetables plus peppercorns, parsley and I throw in some bay leaves to make a good stock.

You need about 6 cups of stock so once this boils up for about 2hrs - take out chicken & veges and strain stock.

Then you add rice to the stock and boil until edible.

In a seperate large bowl beat 2 eggs and lemon juice and add half cup cold water, then add a few laddles of hot stock into the bowl and whisk quickly so it doesnt scramble, add the egg mixture back into the soup and heat through - add salt and pepper to taste, I also like to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in mine.

You can serve the chicken on the side or shred and place in soup.

  5. Yum, I want to try it (when it gets cooler weather!) Isn't it funny how every culture has their "Chicken Soup"? My hubby's from Guam, and their "Kudon Mannok" or "Chicken Soup" has coconut milk in it and is FABULOUS!

    You can't blame this one on me. :-)
