Opa! Greek Soup
Lemons are to Greek food what tomatoes are to Italian. Lemons account for 18% of
the total citrus fruit grown in Greece. They star in that classic Greek combination of
olive oil, lemon juice, salt and oregano (a favorite for fish), and are the key ingredi-
ent to Avgolemono, a delicious chicken soup that’s served warm in the winter and
chilled in the summer. We’ve added rice and rotisserie chicken to our Avgolemono
for a hearty version. Serve with a Greek wine or shot of ouzo.
Avgolemono
Makes 4 servings
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
4
cups chicken broth
Rouses salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup uncooked orzo (or rice)
Rouses salt and pepper, to taste
3
eggs
3
tablespoons lemon juice
1
Rouses rotisserie chicken, meat pulled
from the bones and coarsely shredded
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
HOW TO PREP
Season the broth and bring to a boil in a large saucepan pot over medium-high
heat. Add the orzo (or rice) and cook until just tender (7 minutes for orzo; 20
minutes for rice). Season with salt and pepper, reduce heat to low and let simmer.
In a medium non-reactive bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice until smooth.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, slowly add 1 cup of the simmering broth into
the egg-and-lemon mixture; whisk to combine. Pour the egg-lemon-broth into
the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally until the soup becomes opaque and
thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the rotisserie chicken and dill and serve.

Oranges
—
Cara Cara seedless navel oranges have a bright
orange exterior and distinctive pinkish red flesh that’s sweet
with a tangy cranberry-like zing. Moro “Blood” Oranges have
a bright red to deep maroon flesh, and intense orange flavor
with hints of fresh raspberry. They have a thin skin, which
makes them easy to peel, and virtually no seeds.

Pummelos
— These look like oversize grapefruits, and
their flavor is similar, but they’re sweeter and less acidic.
