Cypriot Avgolemono (Egg and Lemon Soup)
Chicken broth and rice soup finished with egg and lemon, with a fresh flavour and creamy texture. Makes 4 servings.
The rice cooks in chicken broth, then a beaten egg and lemon mixture is gradually incorporated, tempered with hot broth so it stays smooth. Hands-on preparation time and yield are estimates.
