Greek Chicken Cream Avgolemono Soup

Tender chicken and egg puree soup with lemon! The most favorite soup in my family is Greek Avgolemono. Very simple, but at the same time delicious food. My children always demand the addition of this soup. The Avgolemono soup recipe includes either rice or orzo (small pasta). My children prefer soup with small pasta in the form of letters.

So, let's start cooking Greek Avgolemono soup. Cook chicken salted broth. After the chicken is cooked, we take it out and use it for cooking other dishes. In the chicken broth, we pour orzo and cook for a few minutes less than it says on the package. If you have not found an orzo, then use small pasta in the form of letters or asterisks. Squeeze the juice out of lemons or limes, and then break the eggs into it and whisk with a whisk until smooth. Then pour a ladle of hot broth into the egg mixture and stir. Repeat the procedure again. Next, pour the mixture into the broth and gently warm it over low heat until a delicate creamy soup structure is obtained. In no case should you boil the soup – spoil it, as the egg mixture will turn into flakes. Greek Avgolemono soup is poured on plates, decorated with herbs and a slice of lemon. Eat with pleasure!
