Greek Lemon-Rice Soup (Avgolemono)

SERVES: 6 to 8 people PREP: 30 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1 hour

This hearty, lemony soup is perfect for cold, rainy weather.

When does a food phase become a way of life? ’Cuz lately, I can’t get enough of all things Greek. (I think my former feta aversion had influenced my POV on the whole Greek cuisine situation, but I’ve come around in the most obsessed way.) I even convinced (okay, begged) one of my closest friends to acquire one of my favorite pasta dishes, pastitsio, while she was in Greece, and smuggle it to me, still fresh, into Mexico. Anyway, I digress. Avgolemono. Kind of the national soup of Greece. It’s a chicken soup that’s lemony, lush, perfect. You would be convinced that this velvety soup contained dairy because it’s so incredibly creamy, but it’s all thanks to eggs, which you just whisk into the broth to create a texture that never fails to amaze me. The rice’s starch adds even more creaminess. I was going to make adding the pulled chicken breast optional, but it was so delicious it became mandatory before we even finished writing this recipe down.
