Hey Granpa,

No problem. See below.

Phaed

Avgolemono - Greek Lemon Rice Soup

2 quarts chicken broth (or homemade chicken stock)
1/2 c. long-grain white rice (uncooked)
Sachet: (1 bay leaf, 2 whole cloves, and zest strips from 1 1/2 lemons, tied up in a coffee filter)
1 1/2 t. salt
2 large eggs, plus 2 yolks (room temperature)
1/4 c. juice from the zested lemons
garnish with sliced green onion or chopped fresh mint leaves

Bring broth to a boil, add rice, sachet and salt. Reduce heat to medium and
simmer until rice is cooked and broth is aromatic from the lemon zest, about
16 to 20 minutes. Remove sachet, increase heat to high and return broth to
boiling then reduce heat to low.

Whisk the eggs, yolks, and lemon juice lightly in a medium non-reactive bowl
until combined. Whisking constantly, slowly ladle about 2 cups hot broth
into the egg mixture. Pour the egg-broth mixture back into saucepan; cook
over low heat, stirring constantly, until soup is slightly thickened and
wisps of steam appear (4 to 5 minutes). Do not simmer or boil.  Pour into
serving bowls and garnish with sliced green onion or chopped mint leaves.

(Tiny shredded pieces or 1/4 inch cubes of cooked chicken can be added to
make a chicken lemon rice soup.)
