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
- Black pepper corn to taste (optional)
- 2 teaspoons turmeric (optional)
- 3-4 sprigs thyme (optional)
- Salt
Using Broth Masters Bone Broth as your base ensures a deeply nourishing, gut-friendly soup rich in natural gelatin and amino acids.
Fresh lemon adds a bright citrus flavor and a powerful dose of vitamin C, making this soup perfect for immune support.
Turmeric, a golden-hued spice known for its potent anti-inflammatory effects, adds more than just color—it brings curcumin, a natural compound shown to help fight inflammation and support joint health.
When combined with black peppercorn, the body’s absorption of curcumin increases dramatically, thanks to the compound piperine found in pepper. Including both turmeric and black peppercorn in this recipe elevates the soup’s healing potential, making it especially beneficial when you're feeling run down or fighting inflammation.
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!
