Greek Egg Lemon Soup For The Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Bring broth to boil in saucepan, and add rice or orzo.
• Cover and cook on medium low heat for 20-25 minutes (rice) or 10 minutes (orzo).
• While the rice cooks, lightly beat the eggs and the lemon juice together.
• Remove the broth from heat.
• Slowly mix about one cup of the hot broth into egg-lemon mixture.
• Add to the soup gradually while stirring.
• Place saucepan back on the heat, and stir until soup is heated through (DO NOT BOIL).
• Serve.

Steps:

• Place broth and rice in 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Cover tightly and microwave on High until rice is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice in medium bowl until blended. Gradually whisk 1 cup hot broth from casserole into egg mixture, then return to casserole and stir to blend. Microwave covered on High until heated through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle soup into serving bowls. Garnish with mint and lemon slices; serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine milk, corn starch, egg yolks. Set aside.
• Boil the chicken stock in a large soup pot (4 quart is good). Once the stock is boiling, add the orzo pasta and let it cook covered for 9-12 minutes (until pasta is tender).
• When pasta is tender, remove the pot from the heat and add the egg mixture and butter. Stir slowly until it all blends together.
• Return the pot back to the heat and continue to cook the soup. It will thicken slightly.
• Remove from the heat again and add the lemon juice and lemon peel.
• Serve with pita bread.

Steps:

• Put the stock in a large, deep saucepan & turn heat to medium-high, then just barely bring it to slight boil, before turning the heat down to medium, so that it bubbles a bit.
• Stir in the rice, carrot & celery & cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are all tender, about 20 minutes.
• Season with salt & pepper & then, if you're using it, add the tomato before turning the heat down to low.
• In a small bowl, use a whisk to beat the eggs with the lemon zest & juice, & then, STILL BEATING, slowly add 1/2 cup of the hot stock to the egg mixture. Continue beating while adding another cup of the stock.
• Pour this mixture back into the soup & reheat, BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO BOIL OR THE EGGS WILL SCRAMBLE!
• Taste & add salt, pepper or lemon juice as necessary, before serving.

Steps:

• Stir the milk and cornstarch together and beat in the egg yolks.
• Set aside.
• Bring the stock to boil in a 4 quart soup pot and add the rice.
• Cook, covered, until the rice is puffy and tender, about 25 min.
• Remove the soup from heat, add milk and egg mixture, stirring carefully.
• Continue to cook for a moment until all thickens.
• Remove from the heat again and add the butter, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and finely grated lemon peel.
• Note: the amount of lemon juice in this recipe has been halved from its original 1 cup amount.

Steps:

• Bring the garlic broth to a simmer and season as desired with salt and pepper. Add the rice and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
• Beat the eggs in a small bowl and beat in the lemon juice.
• Distribute the optional broccoli among 4 soup bowls. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot broth into the lemon/egg mixture and whisk together. Making sure that the soup is not boiling, stir the egg mixture back into the soup and turn off the heat. Stir for a minute or two, taste and adjust seasonings. Add the parsley, and serve.
