How to Make Avgolemono Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice until smooth. This prevents lumps in your sauce.
Crack in 2 large eggs and whisk vigorously until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly frothy. This emulsifies the eggs and creates a smooth texture.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of hot chicken broth (or other hot broth) in a thin stream, ensuring constant whisking. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
Continue whisking until the sauce slightly thickens. Do not boil. Remove from heat immediately to prevent curdling.
Pour the avgolemono sauce over your cooked chicken soup or other dish, stirring gently to combine. Enjoy!
