  Avgolemoni is a classic sauce of  chicken broth, egg yolks, and lemon juice ; the addition of a bit more broth, rice, and shredded chicken turns it into a satisfying soup. Avgolemono Soup Ingredients Chicken :  Use whole chicken pieces with skin and bones to make a delicious broth. If you do you use ready-made broth, at minimum add chicken meat from whole pieces of chicken, not boneless, skinless chicken. Rice :  Rice should be a short or medium grain rice. Avoid using any aromatic rice such as basmati or jasmine, it will interfere with the flavors of this traditional soup. Vegetables :  There are only 3 vegetables used in this soup: carrots and onion plus celery leaves. If you are unable to find celery leaves, just use some celery. Eggs :  Use whole eggs at room temperature. Lemon :  Fresh lemon juice is key.
