YIA-YIA'S AVGOLEMONO
This is my Yia-yia's (greek for grandma) original recipe. She made this for us whenever we got sick, but also as an appetizer at big family get-togethers. I've seen lots of recipes with sauces and vegetables, etc. but this is a simple, original recipe. It's supposed to be fairly neutral except for the lemon.

Steps:
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil.
- Add the orzo noodles to the broth and cook, covered, on a very low boil, until the noodles are al dente- it should take 8-12 minutes, roughly.
- While the orzo is cooking, separate the whites from yolks, and put the whites in a very large mixing bowl.
- Beat the whites until they're as fluffy as you can get them.
- Add almost all of the juice from the lemon (keep a little left over in a small bowl- people will use this later for adjusting the taste of their own soup).
- Beat the egg-lemon mixture again, get it very fluffy.
- Add the yolks, and beat.
- When the orzo noodles are done, remove the pot from the heat.
- Add one ladleful of broth (avoid the noodles) to the egg-lemon mixture, and beat until fluffy.
- Continue, one ladle at a time, until you can't get any broth out of the pot.
- Pour the contents of the bowl back into the pot, and cook it slightly below a boil for just a few minutes.
- DO NOT allow it to boil- the eggs will cook too much and you will get a grainy white residue in your soup.
- Serve immediately with thick bread and offer the extra lemon juice to anyone who would like their soup to be more citrusy.

Steps:
- In a large stock pot, bring 10 cups water, celery, carrots, onions, chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-high and simmer until the vegetables are soft and the chicken is cooked, 45 minutes to an hour. Strain the vegetables and chicken, making sure to reserve all liquids.
- Put back all the original liquids into the stock pot, plus 3 more cups water and the rice. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to medium.
- Meanwhile, remove the meat from the chicken, shred and put to the side. Put the vegetables in a blender and puree, and put to the side. Put the egg whites in the blender and beat on high for 2 minutes. Add the yolks, lemon juice and cornstarch.
- When the rice is almost completely cooked, add the veggie puree, shredded chicken and the remaining salt and pepper. Take off the heat. Temper the egg mixture by adding about 1 cup hot soup to the blender while blending on low, making sure not to scramble the eggs! Slowly add the egg mixture to the pot, stirring constantly. Taste for salt and pepper.
AVGOLEMONO: CHICKEN SOUP WITH EGG-LEMON SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the chicken in a large pot and add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low, skimming when necessary.
- Heat the oil in a separate pan over medium heat and add the onions. Cook the onions until clear, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- When the chicken is cooked through, 45 minutes to 1 hour, remove from the broth. Let the chicken cool, and then pull the meat from the bones. Dice into large cubes and set aside.
- Add the bay leaves, carrot, leek and reserved onions to the broth and simmer, about 1 hour.
- Remove the carrot and leek from the broth and add the rice. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat to medium-high to simmer until the rice is cooked to al dente, about 30 minutes. Add the chicken back into the broth. Add more water if needed.
- In a small bowl, beat the lemon juice and eggs together. Pour 2 cups of broth slowly into the bowl, whisking continuously. Once all the broth is incorporated, add the mixture into the pot of chicken soup and stir to blend well throughout. Add the salt and pepper. Serve hot.

- Prepare the chicken broth. In a large soup pot, combine the water, chicken, onion, carrots, celery and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer.
- Remove chicken and vegetables. After 2-3 hours, discard the veggies and bay leaves and remove the chicken from the broth. Separate the chicken meat from the skin and bones, shred and set aside.
- Cook the rice. Remove 1 cup of broth from the stockpot and set aside. Then, bring the remaining broth back to a boil and add the rice. Reduce to a simmer and cook the rice until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

- Add avgolemono to soup. Slowly transfer the avgolemono to the pot of broth and fully cooked rice on the stove. Stir to combine and then bring the soup to a simmer.
