Avgolemono (Egg-Lemon Sauce):

1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites first, then add the yolks and beat again.
2. Slowly add the lemon zest and juice while continuing to whisk.
3. Gradually add some hot broth from the soup into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
4. Pour the egg-lemon mixture back into the soup and stir well.
5. Optionally, garnish with fresh dill and pepper when serving for extra flavor.
