AVGOLOMENO
(LEMON CHICKEN SOUP)
1 soup chicken, cut into serv-
ing pieces
1 /4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 /4 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
Juice of 1 lemon, strained
Saute chicken in olive oil. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. Add
water to cover and bring to boil,
skimming surface from time to
time during the cooking. Cover
pot and simmer until chicken is
tender. Remove cooked chicken,
bring the stock to a boil, and cook
15 minutes to reduce the volume.
Remove about 1 /2 cup of stock
and slowly blend it into the flour,
1 tablespoon at a time. In another
bowl add the lemon juice to the
eggs. In a large sauce pan, com-
bine the egg mixture with the
flour mixture. Cook gently, stir-
ring with a wooden spoon, until it
begins to thicken and is creamy.
Continue adding chicken stock by
tablespoons, stirring constantly,
until you have used one-fourth of
the stock, then gradually increase
the quantity and rate of adding
the stock. When half the liquid
has been stirred in, pour mixture
back into the soup pot. Stir well.
Bone .and slice the chicken; re-
turn to the soup. Adjust season-
ings. Sprinkle with chopped dill or
parsley and serve hot. Serves 4 to
6.
