Greek Lemon-Rice Soup

Egg prices are based on size and grade, with jumbo and extra-large eggs the costliest per dozen. More affordable are medium eggs, which are slightly smaller than large eggs, and the yolks are about the same size.

1/2 cup rice

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 lemon, sliced

4. Cook, stirring, just until mixture is hot. Do not boil. Add salt and pepper. Ladle soup into individual bowls. Top with parsley and lemon slices.
