Do you love Greek food? Same. This soup is inspired by one of my childhood favorites. It might trigger every Greek I know, but it’s damn delicious and I stand by that. Remember to have fun with food: rules are great and all, but sometimes you’ve got to break the rules. If you want the recipe for my Mom’s Authentic Version of this Greek Meatball Soup just click the link in my bio! Greek Meatballs in Lemon Sauce (inspired by every good little Greeks favorite soup, Youvarlakia Avgolemono)! 675-700 g ground chicken 3/4 cup short grain rice 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp ground pepper 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 tbsp minced fresh dill 4 cups water 1 ½ tbsp @BetterThanBouillon Roasted Chicken Base 1 1/2 cups water and/or chicken broth from the pot that meatballs cooked in 3 lemons, juiced 1 tbsp cornstarch 2 eggs 1/8 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp kosher salt Make the meatballs: Combine the ground chicken, rice, diced onion, salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh minced dill and mix to fully combine. Once combined, scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons at a time and form into meatballs – you’ll get about 24 meatballs. Place each meatball onto a plate and then set aside. Add 4 cups water and 1 ½ tablespoons chicken stock paste to a large pot or large high-sided skillet. Bring the broth to a boil over high heat. Once the broth is boiling, add the meatballs and keep over the high heat until simmering. Then turn to medium low, keep at a simmer with a lid on the pot most of the way for 35-40 minutes, until the meatballs and rice in the meatballs are cooked through. When the meatballs are cooked through, set aside and make the lemon sauce. Make the lemon sauce: using a blender, blend together 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth along with juice from 3 lemons, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 eggs and ground turmeric. Transfer to a small pot over medium heat, stirring often and let it thicken as the sauce cooks – about 3-4 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Remove from the heat. Serve the meatballs and allow people to spoon over the amount of lemon sauce they would like. Top with fresh dill if desired and freshly ground black pepper. #greece #greekfood #greekrecipes #soup - @foodbymaria
