Perfect meal for a rainy Sunday lunch

Greek Lemon and Orzo Soup AKA: Avgolemono Soup

Ingredients:

  • 64 ounces (8 cups) chicken broth
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice (and I can tell no one read this because I just inserted lemon juice like a month later)
  • ½ cup orzo
  • 2 large eggs plus 3 large yolks
  • 2 drops hot sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. In a soup pot, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in the orzo and boil for 5 minutes. Cover, remove the pan from the heat and let the orzo steep for 5 minutes.

  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce. Whisk in ½ cup soup to temper the eggs, then whisk the egg mixture into the soup. Cook on low heat, whisking, for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita chips.
