Ping: Dimitri re Avoglemono Soup
 

Thought you might like to weigh in on this week's LA Times' food
section column, "Culinary SOS," which shares a request for Taverna
Tony's Avgolemono Soup. For my money, I like the one you so kindly
shared with me that your mother used to make.

I'll take your version over ol' Tony's, thanks :)

"2 1/2 quarts chicken broth, divided"

What does "divided" mean? That they have skimmed the fat floating on top?

It means you need 2 1/2 quarts total and you'll be cooking with part
of it, then another part. I see it says to use 3 cups in Step 1.
Step 3 uses the remaining broth.

Thanks love,

as a matter of fact I poached some "bone in"chicken breasts in chicken broth
this morning for chicken enchiladas tonight. Probably swisas. The reaming
liquid was so flavorful I'm going to make some avgolemono for lunch or a
starter for dinner.

:-)

Dimitri, I could have sworn I had that recipe but I don't. Could you
please re-post it.

Thank you so much.

Wish I'd never seen the article. Am really jonesin' for that soup, but
am leaving at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow for the Republik of Texas for a
long weekend, and it'll have to wait until next week. Froze some
leftover broth just for this purpose.

Talk about carrying coals to Newcastle, we're going to visit a
great-uncle who's originally from Kentucky and loves southern cooking.
Every time we visit, he's about as subtle as a train wreck in
"hinting" for me to get my butt in the kitchen and whomp up some
buttermilk biscuits, grits, eggs and country ham. He'd eat it 3 times
a day if I'd let him. And the "coals to Newcastle" is me bringing real
grits with me, as I know from experience you can't find Real Grits
around Austin - at least, none that I've found.

People tend to associate enchiladas with the ones they get at Tex-Mex restaurants. The enchilada suiza is one of my main meals, with fresh salad (tomatoes and onions left to sit in some vinegar or lime juice and your favorite oil, with cilantro on top) and yellow rice (flavored with stock, garlic, a bit of cilantro and pulverized chiles; ancho the last time I miade it mild.)

A creamy enchilada left with some Mexican earthiness.

Thanks for the soup recipe. Sounds delish!!

No kidding? I thought Texas was filled with grits eaters!
