Avgolemono Soup


This soup came from The Soup Bible cookbook.  We've been trying out some new soup recipes & this soup was a pleasant surprise!

Ingredients:
7 1/2 cups of chicken stock
1 cup of orzo pasta (looks like rice)
3 eggs
juice of 2 lemons (or limes)
salt and black pepper

Pour the chicken stock into a large pan and bring to a rolling boil.  Add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes.  In a small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of cold water.  Slowly stir in a ladle full of the hot chicken stock and then add one or two more.  Return this mixture to the pan, remove from the heat and stir well.  Do not let the soup boil once the eggs have been added, or it will curdle.  Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
