Avgolemono is a classic sauce of chicken broth, egg yolks and lemon juice; the addition of a bit more chicken broth, rice and shredded chicken turns it into a satisfying soup. Ingredients:
4 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium broth |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
2 cups cooked white rice, warmed |
2 large egg yolks |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled from the bones and coarsely shredded (1 pound) |
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, season the stock with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Transfer 1 cup of the hot stock to a blender. Add 1/2 cup of the rice, the egg yolks and the lemon juice and puree until smooth. Stir the puree into the simmering stock along with the chicken and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of rice and simmer until thickened slightly, 10 minutes. Stir in the dill and serve.
