Avgolemono is actually the egg and lemon mixture. Not the soup. The soup is called kotosoupa which means chicken soup. We use avgolemono in other soups like psarosoupa (fish soup) and vrasto (patatos carrots and beef soup) and other recipies like laxanontolmades (cabbage stuffed with meat and rice) Greeting from Greece!!
Hi, Monica. I love Greece, been Five times. Thanks for your comment, it cleared something up for me. At my favorite Greek restaurant, I get waited on by a pleasant Greek woman who is middle-aged. I Always order Avgolemono soup, and when I do, she answers "Chicken soup." Now, Thanks to you, I know why. Stay Well. Long Live Greece....
As a greek from cyprus thanks for this. I think a key point that should be highlighted is you have to be careful when doing the eggs so they dont curdle as that would ruin the augolemoni. But yeah this how i do it very similar. Great job
Hi, new sub here. An Observation: I absolutely love Avgo Lemono soup, have for over 50 years. Over the years, I have researched quite a number of recipes for this soup, and found ALL of them waay tooo laborious to even attempt the recipie, unless, perhaps, you are snowed in by 12 feet of snow and have all the ingredients. Your recipie is Great, Realistic and sure to yield the Real Deal. Thanks! You're talented, for sure.
This sounds amazing! I always add lemon to my chicken noodle soup, but this is most definitely next level. Even with the days getting hotter here (Arizona) I'm making this!
Love your videos and easy to follow recipes. I can never make scalloped potatoes or potatoes o’gratin. Mine never turns out right, either too dry or too greasy runny. Not good. My son keeps requesting I make this dish but I got nothing! Please show me how to make it delicious! Also, I had a favorite restaurant in New Orleans that is now gone, that used to make the best shrimp o’gratin. Please attempt this too. And they used a white cheese in the sauce! Yummy!
That looks good! You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!
Shhhheeeeeetttttt sister I am making this tonight! Thank you! Made my mouth water watching! Keep them coming!! By the way..I’ve got chicken, shrimp, sausage, ground beef and pork roast. So what are we making next? 😂❤️
Nicole, this soup was da bomb!!! I don’t know why I have never tried it before but both my husband and I tasted it and looked at each other wide eyed! Where have we been? Thanks so much for introducing us to this delight! Springtime flavors for sure but so warming with this crazy weather we get at this time of year! (Hot, cold, hot, cold!) 😘
Hi Nicole! I would love for you to teach us how to make French Onion soup! I always order it when I’m at a restaurant that offers it. It is so good! I wish I knew how to make it at home!! Thanks! 😊❤️
I had the soup in a Greek fast food restaurant near my work place, it’s so good I need to make it myself. I never know we need to add the rice in the authentic version cuz they don’t do so. Have to try, thanks for the recipe!
This is a staple in our house, its the hubs favorite, I also add a couple carrots, celery (and onion) when I am boiling the chicken and then when I start putting soup together I add grated raw potato with the rice and I mush up the carrots, celery and onion and add that in too .. I used to do it traditional without the veggies but the veggies take it up to a completely new level ..
That looks yummy and doable. Please offer meals for one on a budget. I don't want to make a pot of soup and eat it forever no matter how good it is. I'll freeze to a point but prefer fresher meals.
Thank You Nicole for the easiest Avgolemono soup recipe I’ve seen. I have a few Greek friends that will be surprised when I make this soup for them, and “YES” I’m with you… Add the onions! OPA!
