Method

Simmer the rice

Pour the full 1.5 l of good-quality, unsalted Chicken Stock into a medium pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Season lightly with the Fine Salt, then stir in the 100 g Medium-Grain Rice. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the rice is tender and the broth has thickened slightly.

Make the avgolemono

While the rice cooks, cut the Fresh Lemon in half and juice it into a bowl until you have 120 ml, removing any seeds as you go. Crack in the Eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth, pale, and a little frothy.

Finish the soup

Take the pot off the heat and, while whisking constantly, slowly ladle in a few spoonfuls of the hot soup to temper the egg-lemon mixture. Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot and keep stirring off the heat until the soup looks creamy and glossy; do not let it boil or the eggs may scramble. Taste and add more fine salt if needed, then serve immediately.
