What can I say, I really love soup so I had to post another one. An old roommate of mine used to make this and she called it Elephant Snot Maggot Soup (don't be disgusted), and it was a secret family recipe. Well, I found the real recipe and it goes by another name. Apparently it's a very popular Greek soup and the name means egg and lemon. It's so easy to make and is the best for when you have the flu.
71/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup orzo pasta
3 eggs
juice of 1 large lemon
salt and pepper
lemon slices to garnish
In a large pan bring stock to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook 5 min. Beat the eggs until frothy, then add the lemon juice and 1 Tbsp of cold water. Slowly stir in a ladleful of the hot chicken stock to the egg mixture, then add one or two more. Return the mixture to the pan, remove from the heat and stir well. (Do not let the soup boil once the eggs have been added or it will curdle.) Season the soup with salt and pepper, and server immediately garnished with a few lemon slices.
