Has anyone here made this? I had it in a Greek restaurant months ago, and it was some of the best soup I've ever had.

Melissa: It is called Avgolemono. It is prepared in uncountable versions, each Greek tavern And Family preparing it a bit different. In Greece it is often used as A Sauce. One off top of head version:   2 eggs, six tblsps squeezed fresh lemon juice; salt and pepper; rice optional to add to the broth and chicken broth 1,5 litres are often incorporated and few threads saffron. Good idea ! Hope this assists. On Saturday I could post a classic recipe for you as we lived in Greece back in early 90s. Tonite we are off to Scattomato, Checkmate our fave Sardinian Italian regional restaurant to celebrate my big five 0 ! Have lovely wkend. Margi

Margi and Melissa....is that soup called giouvarlakia?
Is it a rice and minced meat meatballs soup boiled with fresh dill and then you prepare the avgolemono sauce? 

If yes i would be happy to share the recipe with you

Culinary achievement unlocked: Tempering eggs. I have now made egg-lemon soup (With duck eggs.) Not quite as good as the stuff at Athos, but not bad for a first try!

No, this was just a very basic one using just lemon juice, eggs, chicken stock, and leftover rice. I wanted to make sure I could temper an egg successfully before I risked wasting a lot of ingredients. I did add some dill and crushed garlic once nothing appeared to be turning into scrambled eggs, though.

Congratulations, Melissa!
 
I tried egg-tempuring for the first time also this weekend while making Bergensk fiskesuppe, and was pretty anxious about doing it right. I was careful, and it worked perfectly. This greek dish, with beef meatballs, is definitely on my list for sometime this summer.
