RUSTIC LAMB SOUP FROM FLORENCE (MINESTRA DAGNELLO)
This is THE LAMB SOUP for a quiet, intimate evening on a rainy day. My family uses white burgundy wine which blends wonderfully with the vegetables and ends up tasting a bit sweet. Children wont even know there's wine in the soup. Celery gives a rustic, fresh taste. TRULY, WONDERFUL RUSTIC TASTING SOUP. Got the recipe from Pietro Petroni's : The Complete Book of Florentine Cooking while I was in Florence.

LAMB SOUP
This makes great use of leftover lamb and lamb bones. This requires overnight refrigeration which is not included in prep time.

Steps:
- Chop bones in half and then place in a large soup pot, adding meat, celery, carrot, onion, peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 hours, skimming and replacing water about every 30 minutes or so so water stays at approximated original level.
- Drain using a colander over a bowl or pot, retaining liquids.
- Trim meat from bones and discard bones after removing marrow (added to meat).
- Discard gristle, carrots and celery.
- Return remainder (meat) to pot or bowl with broth and refrigerate overnight.
- Skim soup and put congealed broth (with meat) in a pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, adding curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, bouillion cube and greek seasoning, stirring. Skim.
- Season to taste.
MY MUM'S 'MAGEIRITSA' OR GREEK LAMB SOUP
At Easter time, Greeks traditionally eat a soup made of lamb intestines, liver and other offal called 'Mageiritsa'. In my house ,there was no way any of us were going to eat something like that, so my mum came up with a simple lamb soup which we loved and waited all year to eat. When I got married, I rang my mum for the recipe and when she gave it to me I couldn't believe how simple it was. The secret is in the long simmering time. My kids and my husband love it and to me it is true comfort food. Thanks mum!

Steps:
- Wash lamb pieces well and throw them in a tall pot covering them with cold water.
- Bring to the boil, skimming the pot frequently and then turn the heat down and simmer for 2 hours.
- Add the spring onion which has been washed and chopped coarsely (around 2cm pieces.) Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another 20 minutes, then add the rice which has been rinsed and boil for another 15 minutes until the rice is cooked.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly and make an avgolemono or egg-lemon sauce.
- Separate the eggs and beat the whites for 5 minutes on low speed with a hand-held mixer until white. (It must not be firm or meringue-like.).
- Add yolks and beat briefly, then add the lemon juice in a thin stream until the mixture is fluffy.
- Then add hot soup in a thin trickle beating all the while at a low speed until most of the broth has been incorporated. You will need a large bowl to do this and you should tilt it at the beginning when you beat the egg whites so they are covered by the beaters.
- Be careful not to go too quickly or the egg will cook and curdle, it must be warmed up gradually.
- Tip the contents of the bowl back into the pot and mix lightly with a ladle.
- NOTE: The lamb here in Greece is very fatty so I don't add any oil at all to the soup but if you use leaner types of lamb (e.g. Australian or New Zealand) you may like to add 1/3 cup of oil to the soup.
