The most popular Greek soup has to be the classic Chicken Avgolemono. It is made with an egg-lemon sauce known as avgolemono, homemade chicken stock, flavorful chunks of chicken, and lots of zesty lemon juice. We think of it as Greek penicillin, especially during the colder months.

Dimitra I have to tell you how grateful I am for posting this recipe. I haven’t had homemade avgolemeno since my mother has been battling Alzheimer’s. I have been cooking the Greek dishes I love so much as a kid. I made it like a yiayia. I needed this to feel better and realize how much I missed my mothers cooking. Thank you again.

@SherriJohnson-nz2bp Год назад

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My wonderful MIL who was like a mom to me had Alzheimer's so I understand how you are feeling.

@EvelynBaron Год назад

Feel the same way about my Dad same situation so glad to find comfort in amazing foods they loved and we ate as kids!!!

Finally someone who has so accurately described bottled lemon juice: "it's good for cleaning, not for consumption".

@thaenajonne5970 2 года назад

Hahaha exactly !

@nathanarbuckle3180 Год назад

Unfortunately as a professional line cook that statement is not completely true. As with anything in cooking your ingredients and their quality dictates your end results. Their are plenty of high quality lemon juice brands that are for more then just cleaning.

@yorocco1 Год назад

Oh Lord, that stuff is gross. Only fresh lemons!!

@yorocco1 Год назад

@@nathanarbuckle3180 A line cook isn’t exactly a chef, sorry. No chef would use anything but fresh lemons. It does make a huge difference, regardless of the quality of the bottled stuff. It’s not that hard to cut and squeeze a few lemons. The quality of a dish depends on the quality of the ingredients.

I always loved spending the night or weekends at my Yiayia and Papou's house as a kid..this soup brings me back..waking up to fresh baked bread too..RIP to them both❤

@kathi7956 2 месяца назад

I finally made this. It's sooo easy. It reminds me of my Greek American friend, Zoe, and her mom, who we all called YiaYia. Great memories. Thank you!

@Daantje1902 2 года назад

This needs a hell of a lot more likes. Adding lemon for fresh flavour and using eggs to bind a soup is well underappreciated. My ex-girlfriend (who is Greek) left behind some amazing recipes and tips. Like how to make fresh easy pita bread for gyros (and adding the right vegetables for flavour!), that you need to squeeze cucumber for intenser, not-watery flavour of your tzaziki, use fresh herbs as vegetables (fresh dille especially!), bake oyster mushrooms like you'd do with a decent steak to eliminate meat to your diet, or how to prepare complete animal product so to not waste any product, like what you'd do with eastern goat stew. And above all, without spending a lot of time in the kitchen to make everything taste heavinly. Greek cuisine is cooking made easy and fun, pragmatic, but still by using all kinds of fresh ingredients. Absolutely love it. This soup is well within my top three of recipes, so thanks for sharing your tips! I used the second and "to-the-go"-version of avgolemono soup before, but now I'm definitely trying the second version with seperated eggs!

Dad was a chef made this often when i was knee high to grasshopper..Brings back memories. RIP Dad.

So I've been wanting to make this for so long. I've never had it before even though we love Greek cuisine. My 14 year old daughter is home sick today so I thought this would be a wonderful cozy dinner to make for her, like a big hug! I found the recipe on your blog and then decided to also research on RU-vid and ironically this video popped up straight away and it was a sign that I needed to make your recipe. Thank you for sharing!

@popjax2465 2 года назад

My best friends mom would make this for me. They are Greek I am Croatian and never had it. I also LOVED when she made it with whole black bass(fish).That was my favorite ! Thanks so much!

@Tootsie806 8 месяцев назад

I have never tried Greek food, but I’m determined, with the help of this creator, to learn a few dishes.

@nlamproplos Год назад

My yiayia made wonderful avgolemono! She taught me to separate the eggs, whip the white to stiff peaks, fold in the yolks and lemon juice before tempering. It makes a rich but light, almost sensuous texture. Have you ever had it that way? She always used orzo, like you!

@nlamproplos Год назад

That was exactly the way my yiayia made it!

@got2bjosh 3 года назад

Glad to see you added turmeric. It deepens the color and flavor of the soup without overpowering it, because the lemon brightens everything up.

@YamiHikariHime 2 года назад

My mom would make avgolemono everytime we were sick and sometimes when we had leftover chicken. Our recipe is more like congee where it's just rice, chicken, the eggwhites and yolks and salt and pepper. Either way the softness of the chicken and rice is amazing but the lemon is really what shines in avgolemono.

@annab3182 3 года назад

Looks good. I appreciate that you say that this is your way of making it. We don’t bother to separate the yokes and whites and we don’t put carrots in either but we have always had really thick soup from the standard recipe. Each island 🏝 does make it a little different but it is a very traditional Greek soup.

@dennishodges5751 2 года назад

Just like my mum used to make it except for the carrots, but this could be a regional thing around Greece'.. . brings back alot of memories. Great detailed presentation thank you..

@jeffreymcnabb17 4 года назад

excellent,simple... I find from my experience that once the egg mixture is tempered and added back to the soup, this mixture should not be boiled as it can break. Your joy into your cooking is compelling!! Thanks so much
