Greek Egg Lemon Soup Alt.cooking.chat/Joan Ross (1997) Makes 1 gallon Serves 12 to 16
This gets raves when I make it.
1 gallon chicken stock (homemade best, canned ok) 1/2 qt long grain rice 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice 8 large eggs
Simmer rice in broth about 25 minutes. add lemon juice, stirring slowly. Beat eggs well. Stir 2 cups broth into egg and then combine eggs into hot (not boiling!) mixture stirring constantly. Heat just below simmering until eggs gently cooked, about 2 minutes. Serve hot or chilled. Whether you stir a bit of cream into the soup is up to you. I often do not add rice to the soup either. Of course salt and pepper to taste.
Note: please use fresh lemon juice, bottled really doesn`t cut it.
