Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups stock to a boil. Add orzo; cook until al dente, 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
- Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup water. Heat remaining 2 cups stock until hot; do not boil.
- In an electric mixer, beat eggs with whisk until fluffy; add cornstarch mixture and lemon juice. With mixer on medium-low speed, slowly add 1 to 2 cups hot stock until incorporated and mixture thickens slightly. Add any remaining stock to orzo.
- Over low heat, slowly add egg mixture to orzo, stirring constantly until thickened and creamy. Do not let it come to a boil; eggs will curdle. Serve immediately.
SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)
This tasty soup is very popular in Greece and Cyprus. I remember my father making it on chilly winter days, especially when there were colds and flu in the household! Sometimes he would add chopped, cooked chicken to the soup, and other times he would serve it plain. This is a taste of my childhood.

EGG LEMON SOUP
Steps:
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the orzo, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pasta is done. Turn off the heat, keeping the pan in its place.
- Separate the eggs, and place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat just until foamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks and continue beating until well mixed, another 2 minutes. Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon juice. Slowly add about 3 cups of the hot chicken broth (at this point, use a thermometer to make sure the broth is just below 160 degrees F), beating as you add the broth in a very thin stream.
- Using a wooden spoon or large fork, vigorously stir the orzo and remaining hot broth in an S pattern. Then quickly pour all of the egg lemon mixture into the saucepan while stirring. Keep the pan warm over very low heat, and stir in an S pattern until the soup thickens slightly and the froth is broken down. Serve hot.

EGG LEMON SOUP WITH MATZOS
Rather than making matzo balls for this comforting soup, I crumble matzos into the broth -- no schmaltz required. In Greece the chicken that is later served as part of the main course for Passover is simmered in water with aromatic vegetables to create the broth. You can make a very tasty vegetarian version using garlic broth (my favorite) or vegetable broth. I like to add steamed Swiss chard when I stir in the egg-lemon mixture, but you could add another green spring vegetable, like fresh peas, spinach or asparagus. Steam them first until tender and add to the soup just before serving.

Steps:
- Bring the stock to a simmer. Meanwhile, steam the Swiss chard for 2 to 3 minutes above an inch of boiling water, just until tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- When the broth comes to a simmer, add the olive oil and the matzos and turn off the heat. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes, until the matzo is very soft.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until creamy. Whisk in the lemon juice.
- Heat the soup over medium-low heat, just to the simmer. Carefully whisk a couple of ladles of the hot soup into the egg yolks. It should not be boiling-- you don't want the egg yolks to curdle. Turn off the heat under the soup and stir in the egg-lemon mixture. Stir in the steamed chard and the parsley. Taste, adjust salt and pepper and serve.

LEMONY EGG SOUP WITH ESCAROLE
This lemon-scented soup, based on a Greek avgolemono, is a warming meal in the depths of winter. Made with good chicken broth, it's familiar and comforting. But fresh lemon adds a sunny brightness while the egg and rice thicken things up, making the broth richer and heartier. To add vegetable matter, I stir some escarole into the soup, letting it wilt until silky and soft. If you like you can substitute spinach or baby kale for the escarole, adding an extra few minutes to the cooking time if using the kale.

EGG LEMON SOUP WITH TURKEY
Modeled after a classic Greek egg lemon soup, this is one of many light, comforting soups that make a nice home for leftover turkey. If you haven't made stock with the turkey carcass, a quick garlic or vegetable stock will do. Make sure that the soup is not at a boil when you add the tempered egg-lemon mixture, or the egg yolks will curdle. The soup should be creamy.

EGG LEMON SOUP
The authentic version of this Greek soup is a chicken soup with an egg and lemon enrichment stirred in at the end. But I don't hesitate to make it using garlic broth, thereby transforming a Greek classic into a refreshing, lemony twist on garlic soup.
