Default Turkish egg and lemon soup - recipe and commentary

I finally found the recipe. I think I posted that it was
similar to Chinese Egg Drop Soup but I guess my memory is
not to good. It is actually almost exactly like Avgolemono
Soup but without the rice.

For what it's worth here is the recipe:

Terbiyeli Tavuk Suyu (Cultured Chicken Soup)

2 c. clear seasoned chicken broth
2 eggs
3 T. lemon juice
1 T. chopped parsely

Heat broth to boiling. Lower heat. Beat eggs till frothy.
Add lemon juice. Beat again. Add a few spoonfuls of hot broth
to eggs. Beat. Repeat 5 times. Remove broth from heat. Add
egg mixture slowly, stirring constantly. Serves 6.

I don't remember where I got this. Possible from a Turkish
Cookbook I took out of the library since it's written on a
file card. (The recipes I got from newspapers and magazines
were cut out and taped to the cards so that's why I'm thinking
I copied it from a book. Believe me, I didn't copy things by
hand unless I absolutely had to. The was way before computers
and I didn't have access to a copier.)

Anyway, the English translation of the name doesn't make a
lot of sense to me but that's what they said it was. I didn't
make it up.

I remember really liking this soup. I probably would not get
that excited about it these days. I think my tastes have changed
over the years. A lot of things I used to really love I don't
care much for any more. And things I would never eat before
I now love.
