YOUVARLAKIA AVGOLEMONO (GREEK MEATBALL SOUP)
This wouldn't be a Greek food blog without a recipe for Youvarlakia Avgolemono - also known as Greek Meatball Soup. I know. It's a mouthful to say. It's also hearty, delicious, full of protein, and flavored with olive oil, lemon, and dill. Youvarlakia Avgolemono is a home run with everyone in our house - even the kids! (OK, 3 out of 4 kids. Still, not bad!)

Steps:
- In a large dutch oven, bring chicken broth to a boil. Cover and simmer.
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion, rice, dill, olive oil and salt and pepper.
- In a separate pan, add flour.
- Shape ground beef mixture into bite size meatballs. Roll in flour enough to lightly coat.
- Once all meatballs are lightly coated with flour, drop one by one into broth. Be careful to space them out in the pot so they don't fall directly on top of one another.
- Bring heat back to a boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes. Meatballs are ready when firm and no longer pink. (Cut into one to test).
- While meatballs are cooking, juice two lemons and set aside.
- Separate egg yolks from whites and set egg yolks aside.
- Beat egg whites until fluffy. Add lemon juice. Beat again. Add yolks one at a time and beat until frothy.
- When meatballs are ready, temper the egg lemon mixture. Use a ladle to slowly add hot broth to the egg lemon mixture, beating to incorporate. Repeat three times.
- Slowly stir the egg lemon mixture into the pot and continue to stir until incorporated.
- Serve along with crusty bread, a tossed green salad, olives and cheese.
YOUVARLAKIA AVGOLEMONO (LEMONY GREEK MEATBALL SOUP)
Avgolemono is a Greek egg and lemon mixture that's tangy and silky, and used to thicken sauces and soups. In the United States, most versions of avgolemono soup brim with grains of rice and chunks of chicken. In this recipe, a riff on youvarlakia avgolemono, ground chicken and rice are rolled into meatballs, then simmered in the broth, making the whole thing heartier without losing the soup's characteristic brightness. Many recipes for youvarlakia call for ground beef, and, if you like you can substitute that here. Note that because of the eggs in the broth, leftovers do not freeze well.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, 1/4 cup dill, onion, carrot, rice, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Gently mix with your hands until well combined.
- Gently form the mixture into 24 meatballs, each about 1 1/4 inches in diameter, placing them on a plate or baking pan. Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours. This helps the meatballs keep their shape while cooking.
- In a large pot, bring stock to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium and use a slotted spoon to carefully add meatballs to the pot. The broth should cover the tops of the meatballs by about 1/2 inch. If not, add a little water. Simmer gently, adjusting the heat so the broth doesn't boil, until meatballs are cooked through and rice is tender, 25 to 35 minutes. (Break open a meatball to test it.) Remove pot from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice until just mixed. Slowly add a ladle of warm broth to egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in another two ladles of broth to temper the egg mixture.
- Slowly drizzle the egg-lemon mixture back into the pot with the meatballs, stirring gently so you don't break apart the meatballs. Return the pot to medium-low heat until it just starts to simmer. (Wait for a bubble or two to appear, but don't let the pot boil.) The broth should be silky. Remove from heat, stir in remaining 1/2 cup dill. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed. (It may need quite a bit of salt if you are starting with unsalted broth.) Garnish with nutmeg, if you like, and dill, and serve.

Steps:
- To prepare this Greek meatball soup, start by making the meatballs (youvarlakia). Place all the meatball ingredients into a large bowl, knead the mixture squeezing the ingredients with your hand until smooth. Leave the mixture to rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. This will prevent the youvarlakia to break up when boiled. Form the meatballs (youvarlakia) and set them aside.
- Pour into a large pan 2 ½ cups of water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and gently add the meatballs (youvarlakia) in the water, put the lid back on and cook for 20-25 minutes. (The water should be enough to cover the meatballs, so add some more warm water if needed)
- To prepare the egg lemon sauce for the Greek meatball soup, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add the lemon juice and whisk well. Add into the bowl a ladle of hot soup and whisk quickly. Add one more ladle and whisk again until combined.
- Stir in the egg lemon sauce into the youvarlakia soup and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until warm but not boiling.
- Serve this extra warming Greek meatball soup, while still hot with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
- Make sure that you do not cover any left overs until they have cooled; the sauce may curdle otherwise!!

Steps:
- Combine the ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add an egg and mix well.
- Pour some flour in a shallow pan. With floured hands, shape the meat into walnut-sized balls. Lightly roll the meatballs in the flour and shake off the excess.
- Heat 2 cups of the chicken broth in a Dutch oven, or large pot, until boiling.
- Carefully place the meatballs in a layer on the bottom of the pot. If the broth does not cover the meatballs, add a bit more broth until they are covered.
- Simmer, covered, on low for 45 minutes, adding more broth if there is less than 1 cup remaining.
- To make the sauce, beat the eggs in a medium sized bowl until frothy.
- Slowly whisk in the lemon juice. Ladle one cup of the pot liquid, little by little, into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add in the lemon/egg mixture, stirring gently.
- Heat over very low heat until sauce thickens and is heated through, making sure the sauce does not boil (which will result in the eggs curdling).

Steps:
- Put the stock in a large, deep saucepan & turn heat to medium-high, then just barely bring it to slight boil, before turning the heat down to medium, so that it bubbles a bit.

- Season with salt & pepper & then, if you're using it, add the tomato before turning the heat down to low.
