Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups stock to a boil. Add orzo; cook until al dente, 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
- Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup water. Heat remaining 2 cups stock until hot; do not boil.
- In an electric mixer, beat eggs with whisk until fluffy; add cornstarch mixture and lemon juice. With mixer on medium-low speed, slowly add 1 to 2 cups hot stock until incorporated and mixture thickens slightly. Add any remaining stock to orzo.
- Over low heat, slowly add egg mixture to orzo, stirring constantly until thickened and creamy. Do not let it come to a boil; eggs will curdle. Serve immediately.
GREEK LEMON, ARTICHOKE, AND EGG SOUP
Steps:
- Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it, along with the water, in the slow cooker insert.
- In a sauté pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion, celery, and artichokes over medium-high heat until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes.
- Add the vegetables to the water and rice, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the rice is tender. Add the cumin and 1/4 cup of the parsley to the soup.
- In a medium bowl and using a whisk or a handheld immersion blender, beat the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly add 2 ladles of broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly, to the lemon and egg mixture.
- Add the lemon and broth mixture back into the soup, stirring constantly, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes more, or until heated through and beginning to thicken. (If you allow the soup to boil, the eggs will curdle.)
- Add salt and pepper to taste, ladle into bowls, garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, and serve immediately.
- Suggested Beverage
- A nice Sauvignon Blanc or an artisanal Greek retsina, if you can find one, would pair well with this soup.
SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)
This tasty soup is very popular in Greece and Cyprus. I remember my father making it on chilly winter days, especially when there were colds and flu in the household! Sometimes he would add chopped, cooked chicken to the soup, and other times he would serve it plain. This is a taste of my childhood.

CHICKEN SOUP (GREEK, WITH AVGOLEMONO - EGG/LEMON SAUCE)
This is the Greek way to cure the common cold. It is delicious. Make sure to mince the vegetables quite fine - you want them soft and melt-in-the-mouth. This is not the soup for crunchy veggies. Please note that the eggs are not 'raw' in this soup, but are actually tempered in the hot broth.

Steps:
- Put chicken, water, parsley, onion and salt in a large pan and bring to a boil.
- Cover pan and let simmer for 45 minutes.
- Remove chicken and parsley, discard parsley.
- Let chicken cool a bit, so you don't burn yourself, and cut into cubes.
- Set aside.
- Add rice, carrot and celery to broth and cook for 20 minutes.
- Add lemon juice to the soup.
- Stir.
- Turn off heat.
- Beat the eggs and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- While whisking, slowly dribble in hot chicken stock- never stop whisking.
- Do this until you have used up a couple of ladlefuls of stock.
- This tempers the eggs so they do not curdle.
- Slowly add egg to the hot soup and give a good stir.
- Add chicken and serve, sprinkled with a bit of pepper (if desired).
- Note: I would just like to point out that the eggs in this soup are not raw - they are cooked by the hot stock. That is what the tempering process is all about (and to make sure the eggs don't curdle :-) ).

EGG LEMON SOUP
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.

- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium-high. Add the carrots, celery and green onions, toss together to saute briefly then stir in the garlic.

- To prepare the egg-lemon sauce, in a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and eggs. While whisking add 2 ladles-full of the broth from the cooking pot (this helps temper the eggs). Once fully combined, add the sauce to the chicken soup and stir. Remove from the heat immediately.

- Slice off the ends of the artichoke hearts and set them aside. Use your fingers to separate the remaining artichoke petals (just fluff them up so that they are no longer stuck together) and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Stir in the flour until evenly combined and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add the stock, bay leaves, thyme and artichoke ends (not the petals) and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves. Then, either using an immersion blender (my preference) or a traditional blender (see notes below), carefully puree the broth until it is completely smooth.
