Avgolemono

"This is the most popular of Greek soups. The name means 'egg and lemon',
the two most important ingredients that produce this light and nourishing
soup. Orzo is a Greek rice-shaped pasta, but you can use any small shape.
Garnish with fresh lemon slices."

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ready In: 25 Minutes
Servings: 4

1 3/4 quarts chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked orzo pasta
3 eggs
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon cold water
salt and pepper to taste

Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepan, and bring it to the boil.
Add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes. Beat the eggs until frothy, then
add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly stir in a
ladleful of the hot chicken stock, then add one or two more. Be careful
not to scramble the eggs! Return this mixture to the pan, off the heat,
and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once, garnished
with lemon slices. Do not let the soup boil once the eggs have been added
or it will curdle!
