"This creamy chicken soup is a traditional Greek soup although the original recipe would not have had carrots included. It takes a while to make but it`s well worth it!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large soup pot heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic, saute until soft (about 3 minutes)

Step 2

Add whole chicken thighs and saute for a few minutes, browning well on both sides.

Step 3

Add water and bring to a boil for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove chicken thighs and set aside.

Step 5

Add celery and carrots to soup and boil for another 20-25 minutes or until just tender but still slightly firm.

Step 6

When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces.

Step 7

Add chicken pieces and rice and boil for 10 to 12 minutes (15 minutes maximum). After rice has been cooking for about 5 minutes, mix flour with a little cold water and add to pot, stirring to thicken. Continue stirring while rice finishes cooking, another 5 to 10 minutes. Remove soup from heat. Season broth with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Meanwhile, beat eggs very well and slowly stir lemon juice into beaten eggs.

Step 9

When soup is removed from heat, pour egg-lemon mixture into pot then stir then serve.
