637. Soupa Avgolemono Soupa avgolemono was one of the dishes I had down on my ‘must-try’ list when I went to Athens, but I never found anywhere that sold it. Perhaps because it was the summer they did not think anyone would really be after soup (I’ll eat soup any time; I’m weird like that). Anyway, as I couldn’t try it in Greece I decided to just make it myself at home. It’s a really easy soup to make. You just have to cook a little bit of rice in a pot of good-flavoured chicken stock, then when the rice is done you mix in lemon juice and egg yolk. The egg yolk thickens it and gives it this lovely creamy, silky texture, and the lemon juice brightens the whole flavour and gives this delicious hint of sour. As a huge fan of both soup and lemon this dish was pretty much tailor made for me, so I shall definitely be adding it to my soup repertoire! 637 down, 1159 to go
