Egg Lemon Soup image

The authentic version of this Greek soup is a chicken soup with an egg and lemon enrichment stirred in at the end. But I don't hesitate to make it using garlic broth, thereby transforming a Greek classic into a refreshing, lemony twist on garlic soup.

Categories     soups and stews

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 quarts garlic broth
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup long grain rice
2 eggs
1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
a good size broccoli crown, broken into small florets and steamed for 5 minutes

Steps:

  • Bring the garlic broth to a simmer and season as desired with salt and pepper. Add the rice and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and beat in the lemon juice.
  • Distribute the optional broccoli among 4 soup bowls. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot broth into the lemon/egg mixture and whisk together. Making sure that the soup is not boiling, stir the egg mixture back into the soup and turn off the heat. Stir for a minute or two, taste and adjust seasonings. Add the parsley, and serve.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a vegan egg replacer. The soup turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added a cup of cooked rice to the soup and it was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I think I should have simmered it for longer.

I'm not sure why this soup is called 'egg lemon soup.' I didn't taste any eggs.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made a big batch on the weekend and then reheated it throughout the week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I should have added more broth.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice.
