Avgolemono

1655 ml chicken broth
100 g uncooked orzo pasta
3 eggs
1 lemon, juiced
15 ml 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!

You must be a very good cook - and you do come up with some interesting recipe requests:) but what I like most of all about you Tingirl is that you get right back on here and Post to let us know that you READ what we posted and that we gave you what you needed!!!
