GREEK LEMON CHICKEN SOUP AKA AVGOLEMONO



Greek Lemon Chicken Soup aka Avgolemono image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 quarts low-sodium chicken stock
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup orzo or rice
3 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon lemon zest plus 1/2 to 1 cup fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and then lower to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken is just cooked through and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes; remove to a bowl. Once cooled, shred the chicken and reserve.
  • Add the orzo or rice to the pot with the chicken stock and cook until al dente, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and most of the lemon juice, reserving some to add later as needed. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Once combined, ladle in some hot stock to temper the egg mixture, whisking constantly and adding the hot liquid slowly. Very slowly, add the warm whipped egg/lemon mixture into the pot, whisking constantly to prevent any curds or clumps from forming. Continue to cook over medium-low to medium heat, whisking, until the soup thickens, about 10 minutes more.
  • Add the shredded chicken and any reserved juices to the soup. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and add additional lemon juice if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley.

GREEK AVGOLEMONO CHICKEN SOUP



Greek Avgolemono Chicken Soup image

This is the traditional recipe made in Greek kitchens. The basic Avgolemono (broth and lemon) can be varied for other similar Greek recipes. Serve with bread. Bread bits can be dipped into the soup. The soup will last in the fridge for a number of days or can be frozen. To reheat, place in microwave or heat on the stove.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (3 pound) whole chicken
½ cup uncooked white rice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 egg, beaten
2 lemons, juiced

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken and remove any organs that may be inside. Place in a pot large enough for the chicken to move around, but not too much room or the broth will be watery. Add the chicken neck if that is included with your chicken. Fill with enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, skimming the fat from the top as it collects.
  • When the chicken is done, the meat should pull from the bones easily. Transfer the bird to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Add the rice, and season the broth with salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 20 more minutes, or until rice is tender.
  • Whisk the eggs with the lemon juice in a bowl. When the rice is done, turn off the heat. Whisk one ladle full of hot broth into the eggs slowly so the eggs do not curdle. Gradually whisk in more broth until the egg mixture is heated. Then pour the egg mixture back into the pot, whisking briskly. The result should be a creamy, cloudy looking soup. You may season with additional salt, pepper or lemon juice at this point.
  • You may add pieces of chicken to the soup before serving or serve soup with salted chicken on the side.
