First time I saw the recipe online, I was curious as to its taste. Having never tried it before, and having very little experience with Greek food (much less Greek soups), I was excited to give this brew a try.
I was a bit hesitant at first, as it required delicate mixing (eggs may cook), but I gave it a go anyway.
Ingredients:
1.5 Liters Chicken broth/stock
1/4 cup uncooked rice
3 eggs (separate whites and yolk, but both will be used)
2 lemons, juiced
1 Tbsp. cold water
salt and pepper to taste
1. Pour broth into a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Add rice, cook for 5 mins.
in a separate bowl:
3. Whip egg whites until fluffy/stiff.
4. Add lemon juice to eggwhites, mix.
5. Add yolk to combination, mix.
6. Add 1 tbsp. of cold water, mix.
7. Take one ladle full of stock/broth and slowly stir into the mix. *** Be careful not to scramble the eggs***
8. Add one or two more ladles of stock to the mix.
9. Turn off the heat of the saucepan and transfer the mix into the saucepan *** do not transfer if still boiling, as this may curdle.
10. Slowly stir to mix, ready to serve.

New Year Munchies
Happy New Year.
This being a new year and all, I took the time to post something new in my blog after a short absence. Since Maiks is sick, I let out the old druid in me and concocted a batch of potato soup for her, despite never having made the said brew.
Here's what I prepared:
Ingredients:
1 kilo marble potatoes
1 whole red bell pepper (diced)
2 bulbs green onion (diced)
some parsley
1 liter stock
salt n pepper (to taste)
1. Let the marble potatoes boil in water for about 20-30 mins (with skin)
2. Sautee onions and bell peppers together til onions turn light brown.
3. Let the stock boil on low heat while mixing in the onions and bell peppers.
4. let sit for about 5 mins then add the potatoes in the mix. ( some of the potato water may be added for volume)
5. Mash the potatoes while in the mix.
6. Transfer soup mix into a blender and puree.
7. Add parsley leaves for garnish and blend in.
8. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
No need to add cream or starch, as blended potatoes are thick enough. We had these with Bread Pan bites as croutons. Yummy.
I wasnt able to take a picture because we finished the soup before I wrote this entry.
Try it and let me know how yours goes.
