  • 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:

  • 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)

Lemon Butter Pie

Prep Time 10minutes mins

Cook Time 15minutes mins

chilling 4hours hrs

Total Time 4hours hrs 25minutes mins

Equipment

  • shallow 9 1/2 inch pyrex or metal pie plate, you want something that can go in the freezer if you plan to freeze your pie.
  • instant read thermometer
  • silicone whisk and spoonula are very handy but optional

Ingredients

crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (Stephanie made this for my birthday and it was so much graham crackers. Maybe cut in 1/2)
  • 4 Tbsp butter, melted

lemon butter filling

  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut in 1 tablespoon sized pieces. The butter should be firm but not cold. Room temperature is good.

(My coworker tripled the recipe and put it in 2 9X13 pans and served in squares like lemon bars. This would be good for a big group.)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a shallow 9 inch pie dish.
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. I find this works best if I use my fingers. Once it’s all combined and evenly moistened, gently press it into your pie dish. Don’t worry about messy edges, one of the charms of this lemon pie is the ragged crumb crust.
  • Bake the pie crust for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • To make the lemon butter filling put the lemon juice, eggs and yolk, and sugar into a medium sized heavy saucepan. Whisk everything together well.
  • Heat, whisking or stirring constantly, over medium to medium high heat until the mixture thickens and reaches 180F. Note: if you haven’t made curd or egg thickened sauces or puddings before you may want to stick to medium heat.
  • Push the lemon curd through a strainer to remove any stray lumps of egg. Stir to cool the curd to 140F (this won’t take long.)
  • Transfer to a food processor and turn the machine on. Add the pieces of butter, one at a time, letting each incorporate before adding the next.
  • Turn the creamy lemon into your pie crust and spread out evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least several hours before serving. If you would like a firmer consistency you can pop the pie in the freezer.
  • Serve the pie cold, or even frozen. If serving straight from the freezer you may want to let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes or so to soften a bit.
