Avgolemono Soup (Greek lemon, chicken and rice soup)-Holly Morgenegg

Start the rice cooking first, good with leftover rotisserie chicken

  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium onion, chopped
  • 5 diced carrots
  • 5 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)

Saute ingredients above for a few minutes. Add in:

  • 8 cups chicken broth (I like 1 tsp bouillon for every 2 cups of water or do 6 tsp bouillon)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • pepper

Boil for 20 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks and 6 Tablespoons of lemon juice. Add 1 cup or so of broth to this mixture to not cook the eggs, then add to the pot.

Add in:

  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • Dill to taste (I like extra dill on each soup bowl too)
