Ingredients for Bone Broth, Egg, Lemon, and Rice Soup (Avgolemono Soupa):
1 quart Broth Masters Bone Broth
¼ - ½ cup extra long-grain Basmati rice
1 egg plus 1 yolk
3-4 Tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
1 tsp turmeric (optional)
3-4 sprigs thyme (optional)
Salt
Directions:
- Rinse the rice in a sieve to remove the starch. In a medium pan make rice using the ratio of 1.5 parts water to 1 part rice ( ½ rice needs ¾ cup water).
- Bring water to a boil, add rice, then immediately turn down to a low simmer. Simmer 15 min, turn off heat and let stand 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.
- Heat Broth Masters Bone Broth to a simmer. Add cayenne, turmeric and thyme sprigs. Allow to simmer on very low heat for 5 minutes.
- Place cooked rice, lemon, egg and egg yolk into a food processor, process for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk mixture into the broth. Stir over low heat just until hot 1-3 minutes. Don’t boil: high temperature diminish anti-inflammatory properties and may curdle the eggs.
- Salt to taste. Enjoy!
