Reading: Healthy Avgolemono Soup
normally known as avgolemono in Greece, this classic lemon rice soup is normally made with wimp. here, it ’ s a touch less creamy, a fiddling brothier, and you have the option of swapping white pisces for chicken, although leftover roast chicken besides works wonderfully. Either way, the slurp-worthy results are gratifyingly worthy of upend custom. – Angie Zoobkoff

Ingredients
▢
2 tablespoons olive oil
▢
1 culture medium onion finely diced
▢
2/3 cup uncooked arborio rice
▢
10 cups canned chicken broth or homemade chicken stock
▢
1 egyptian pound shredded cooked wimp from 1 rotisserie chicken or fast white fish fillets such as tilapia, c, or haddock, cut into 2-inch ( 5-cm ) strips
▢
1/2 cup lemon juice
▢
2 large eggs
▢
1 teaspoon newly background black pepper
▢
Sea salt (optional)
▢
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Directions
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the rice and stir until the grains are well coated with oil.
Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the rice is just tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the fish and gently simmer until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If you’re using cooked chicken, you will only need to warm it through, about 3 minutes).
In a heat-safe glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, eggs, and pepper. Whisking the egg mixture constantly, add a few ladles full of hot broth. Then stir the egg mixture into the soup. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
