Step 1

To prepare the classic Avgolemono recipe, start by cracking the eggs into a bowl and whisk well.

Step 2

Gradually add the lemon juice and whisk again to combine.

Step 3

Add a little of the warm stock or soup and whisk quickly, add more and whisk again. The reason for slowly adding the broth is to gradually warm up the eggs so you don’t end up with an omelette instead of a sauce!

Step 4

Pour gradually the egg mixture back into the pot, whilst constantly stirring and bring just below boiling point. Remove the pan from the stove and serve.
