A hearty and flavorful Greek soup made with chicken, rice, and a classic egg-lemon sauce. This recipe includes tips to prevent curdling and achieve a velvety texture.
This Greek soup gets its name, avgolemono, from the egg-lemon mixture used to thicken the broth. Some versions are simply broth that’s thickened and seasoned, while others are more substantial and include rice and chicken. We prefer the latter. In this recipe from our cookbook “ Milk Street 365: The All-Purpose Cookbook for Every Day of the Year,” we poach bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in store-bought broth to give it a rich body and flavor.
The bones and skin are removed and the meat is shredded and added to the soup just before serving. Grated carrots lend sweetness and color, while lemon zest deepens the citrus notes. The rice is simmered directly in the broth, infusing it with savory flavor. The yolk in the egg-lemon mixture coagulates as it hits the hot liquid, thickening the broth and giving it a velvety texture. To prevent the eggs from curdling, keep these tips in mind: Temper the eggs first by slowly adding a small amount of the hot broth to the bowl before whisking the mixture into the pan. And after adding the mixture, don’t let the soup reach a boil or even a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives
