Greek Lemon Soup

This is a very easy soup to make.  It is hearty and comforting...

and all you need are five ingredients!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

2 quarts vegetable or chicken stock
1 pound leeks (approx. 3 cups chopped), white and light green parts only, cleaned and thinly sliced.  If you don't have leeks, use 2 cups chopped onions.
2/3 cup rice (I use wild rice, brown works well too)
4 large eggs
2 lemons, juiced and strained, about 6 to 8 tablespoons
1 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill for garnish

LET'S BEGIN:

1.  Combine the chicken/vegetable stock and leeks/onions and bring to boil in a large pot.  Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes on medium-low.

2.  Add the rice and continue to simmer until cooked through, about 30-45 minutes.  Remove from heat.

3.  In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and lemon juice together until combined.  Take a ladle of broth from the pot and SLOWLY pour into the egg/lemon mixture, whisking while pouring.  The eggs will curdle if uou add the eggs directly into the pot.  Add one more ladle of broth to the eggs and whisk to combine.  Pour the remaining egg mixture into the large pot of soup.  Enjoy!
