Greek lemon rice soup

Tofu in Greek soup! say it isn't so! Selgreco is correct. Orzo can be substituted for rice.

Not a Greek Recipe

This is so not how my mother makes her egg lemon rice soup. For those who would like a traditional Greek recipe the recipe is attached below. Cook rice in chicken broth as advised above (or for added flavour boil your own chicken first and eat with the soup later) Whisk 2 egg whites to creamy and fluffy and it rises. Addegg yolks and beat in well to make creamy Slowly add the lemon juice (1-2 lemons medium sized) Slowly add mixture 1 cup of cold water and warm broth/soup (mixed together so it is luke warm and egg doesn't curdle) Blend in slowly. Add another half cup of broth. Slowly pour this mixture into the rice soup/chicken stock. Stirring till it is incorporated. Serve and enjoy!

    Smooth silken tofu replaces the eggs in our version of the classic Greek soup. Add an extra drizzle of olive oil on top of each portion to give it an extra-luxurious taste.
