| 1. In a large bowl, combine the meat, minced onion, garlic, rice, 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, the mint, oregano, salt and pepper, and 1 egg, slightly beaten. | 2. Knead for a few minutes, then shape into walnut-sized meatballs and set aside. | 3. In a soup pot, bring the water or stock to boil and add the meatballs. | 4. Cook for 20 minutes. | 5. Add chopped onion, celery, carrot, zucchini and potato. Add salt and pepper to taste. | 6. Lower the heat and gently simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes (until the vegetables are tender), then remove from the heat. | 7. To prepare avgolemono: beat the two remaining eggs for 2 minutes and whisk in the corn flour. | 8. While beating all the while, gradually add the lemon juice. | 9. Then add 1 cup of the hot broth in a slow, steady stream (ladle), beating steadily, until nearly all the hot liquid has been added. | 10. Add the egg/stock mixture back to the soup pot and heat, being careful not to let it boil, stirring, until thickened. | 11. Serve hot, garnished with parsley. | 12. Serve this with feta cheese on the side- goes great with the little meatballs. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
