This classic Greek soup—avgolemono—is simple, easy, and amazingly flavorful. Egg thickens a soup of grain or orzo cooked in broth and flavored with lemon. Then add crusty bread along with a eco-friendly salad and you've got the simplest, warming-est, loveliest dinner ever. Like several soups, that one advantages of using homemade broth, but worthwhile quality broth works all right. If using canned or boxed broth, consider watering it lower (use 5 cups broth and 1 cup water) to mitigate its saltiness.
Note: Use 1 egg for any thinner soup and a pair of eggs for any thicker soup.

Preparation
- Bring the broth to some boil. Add some grain or orzo, reduce heat to keep a stable simmer, and prepare before the grain or pasta is tender.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg(s) completely. You need to really break them up—when you lift the whisk from the bowl the egg should disappear evenly and appear nearly as thin as water, without any globs or thickness for them.
- Once the grain or orzo is tender, ladle out about 1 cup of broth right into a calculating cup or small pitcher. Whisk 1 tablespoon from the fresh lemon juice in to the egg after which gradually pour the new broth in to the egg mixture while whisking the mix constantly. This course of action will prepare the egg but ensure that it stays from curdling.
