Steps:
- In a large stockpot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and then lower to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken is just cooked through and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes; remove to a bowl. Once cooled, shred the chicken and reserve.
- Add the orzo or rice to the pot with the chicken stock and cook until al dente, 5 to 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and most of the lemon juice, reserving some to add later as needed. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Once combined, ladle in some hot stock to temper the egg mixture, whisking constantly and adding the hot liquid slowly. Very slowly, add the warm whipped egg/lemon mixture into the pot, whisking constantly to prevent any curds or clumps from forming. Continue to cook over medium-low to medium heat, whisking, until the soup thickens, about 10 minutes more.
- Add the shredded chicken and any reserved juices to the soup. Add the lemon zest and season with salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and add additional lemon juice if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley.
AVGOLEMONO (GREEK LEMON CHICKEN SOUP)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Add the chicken, water, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves , peppercorns, and salt to a large stockpot . Bring to a rapid boil, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl and carefully strain the broth through a fine sieve into a separate large bowl. Return the strained broth to the stockpot and bring to a boil.
- Add the orzo and cook until al dente, according to package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the egg-lemon mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until nice and frothy.
- Add the lemon zest and the lemon juice in a steady stream while continuing to whisk.
- When the pasta has finished cooking, turn off the heat. Ladle about 2 cups of broth into a large measuring cup.
- Slowly add the hot broth to the egg-lemon mixture while continuing to whisk. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling once they are added to the hot broth.
- Continuously stir the egg-lemon mixture back into the pot over very low heat until the mixture is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to boil the soup once the eggs have been added. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Traditionally, this soup is served without the chicken meat or vegetables. You can add them back or serve on the side as you prefer. Garnish with dill and serve.

GREEK AVGOLEMONO CHICKEN SOUP
This is the traditional recipe made in Greek kitchens. The basic Avgolemono (broth and lemon) can be varied for other similar Greek recipes. Serve with bread. Bread bits can be dipped into the soup. The soup will last in the fridge for a number of days or can be frozen. To reheat, place in microwave or heat on the stove.

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken and remove any organs that may be inside. Place in a pot large enough for the chicken to move around, but not too much room or the broth will be watery. Add the chicken neck if that is included with your chicken. Fill with enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, skimming the fat from the top as it collects.
- When the chicken is done, the meat should pull from the bones easily. Transfer the bird to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Add the rice, and season the broth with salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 20 more minutes, or until rice is tender.
- Whisk the eggs with the lemon juice in a bowl. When the rice is done, turn off the heat. Whisk one ladle full of hot broth into the eggs slowly so the eggs do not curdle. Gradually whisk in more broth until the egg mixture is heated. Then pour the egg mixture back into the pot, whisking briskly. The result should be a creamy, cloudy looking soup. You may season with additional salt, pepper or lemon juice at this point.
- You may add pieces of chicken to the soup before serving or serve soup with salted chicken on the side.

AVGOLEMONO: CHICKEN SOUP WITH EGG-LEMON SAUCE
Found this on FoodTV site and am posting it for ZWT6. This is by Cat Cora and sounds delicious!! You might want to start out by using 2/3 of the stated amount of lemon juice and then if it isn't lemony enough, add the other 1/3 per reviewers comments.

Steps:
- In a 6 to 8-quart stockpot, combine the chicken, water, and 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce the heat to a very low simmer, and skim the foam from the surface. Add the leek, carrot, and bay leaves and continue to simmer with the chicken until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove chicken from the broth, and allow meat to cool. Strain the broth and skim the fat. (Place the broth in the refrigerator to make it easier to skim.)
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Dice the meat into large cubes; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Return the broth to high heat, add the rice and onion and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is almost cooked through, about 20 minutes. Add the chicken and reduce the broth to a low simmer.
- In a medium sized bowl, beat the lemon juice, eggs, and pepper. Ladle 2 cups of hot broth into a measuring cup with a pourable spout. While whisking, slowly pour the 2 cups of broth into the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture back into the pot with the remaining 1 tablespoon of salt. Stir well to blend. Divide among bowls and serve immediately.
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 :-) ).

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.
