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.

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

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.

@@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.

Lol!!

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❤

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

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!

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 KZread and ironically this video popped up straight away and it was a sign that I needed to make your recipe. Thank you for sharing!

I used to eat this soup at a wonderful Greek restaurant, and it was always so comforting and delicious! Thank you for this recipe!

This is the best soup I've ever tested, and my kids love it. Thank you Dimitra, God bless you.

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!

So I made this soup 🥣 today. I did the one with egg yolks and orzo and man this was so delicious I literally had 3 bowls of it. Thank you so much 😊. I love your recipes

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!

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

Very GOOD. I swear my immune system wants to clean itself, just by thinking about the recipe. LEGIT.

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

I made version 2 today for the 3rd time. It keeps getting better. This is the best recipe!! Creamy, rich, smooth and fabulous♥♥

I am making this today. I love lemon and creamy soups. Thank you for linking straight to the recipe.... so that I don't have to search for it. Love the recipe layout as well.

One of my friend made for me and I was in love with this recipe. Thank you for share with us !

My neighborhood Greek joint has this soup on the menu everyday and it’s always fantastic. I love your recipe and YOU are just adorable. Yas Queen! 🤓❤️

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.

So gunna try this. Greek restaurant I use to live by made this every Saturday. I moved to like the middle of Nowhere missed my Saturday soup so now I’ll be making it myself thanks to you ❤️ pairing with some garlic bread 😍

These recipes are wonderful! My sisters mother in law was from Greece and she made this all the time....so good!! Miss her.

Sooo delicious! I made it the other day twice since my family will not miss this soup on the table, especially in cold weather. Thank you!

An excellent soup! My dearest friend's Papou was the best and he added dill. Yours looks just as delicious can't wait to make it, Thank you, Dimitria!!

DD, I love your post and your cooking! I just made the soup! Hubby is throughly impressed! Thank you! I also made the spinach pie- also your recipe!

My all time favourite. This is our go to soup for a hearty pick me up. Even being Italian we love this. 😍🇦🇺❤️

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

Im gonna do this for sure ! So timely for the rainy season here in my country ... Thanks for sharing

I made this soup today and it came out amazing! I went with the egg yolk only open, but with rice...forgot to buy orzo!! Didn't matter, was so delicious! Thank you!!

Dimitra's Avgolemono Soup is MY FAVE!!!!! Thanks girl this soup tastes just like i had in Greece. 🥰

My favorite Greek diner makes a bomb chicken lemon soup, I’m definitely gonna try this at home, looks delicious! ♥️

Thank you! My kids loved it it’s my favourite soup but I’ve never been able to make it as good as I did tonight with your recipe. White pepper and lemon!

God bless you, I can’t wait to make this!!! You explain your recipes so well, I like the way you have everything prepared and have quick delicious old fashion recipes! I will be trying this!

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!

I am very happy tonight, thanks to Dimitra! In the past, I have not been too good at this dish (think scrambled eggs). Tonight I followed her instructions exactly, and BINGO! It turned our perfect :) Thank you Dimitra, evlogimeni.

thank you for the two options. both look delicious. can wait to try them.

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..

Oh boy! That looks yummy!

Mmm oh my gosh! There’s a Greek restaurant in town where they always had this with crusty bread. Of course, eating out was (and still is) a luxury. I could totally order just this soup now with one of those ordering apps, but I think I’ll try my hand at cooking my very own batch!

Thank you for the wonderful recipe. Appreciate it and willing to try to make it

Great recipes always and very well explans I always enjoy cooking this avgolemone soup with you and I succed always , my family love it so much😊 a very healthy and delicious soup👌👌👌👌

great clear instructions

I made this soup today (your version 1) and I love it!! This is my husband's favorite soup and finally I can make it at home!

Fabulous recipe by a fabulous CHEF.

Best chef award Dimitra :-)))

Love it so good,thank you.

That soup looks delicious 😋

Made this a few days ago and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for the recipe, will be nice to have an alternative to normal chicken noodle soup to keep things fresh.

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.

Great recipe, I look forward to trying it 😃

This is amazing for when you are sick !

Would it be OK to put a bunch of spinach in this? I’m just gonna do it!

Looks delicious 😋 😍 👌

This is well explained. I make this one a lot. But I don’t put the meat in to boil because it becomes too tough. For me anyway. You did a great job on this. People are very intimidated by Avgolemono, but, once you get the hang of it, it gets easy. :)

I make it at least 2x a month winter and summer our family loooooooves avgolemono

delish!

Neither of my Yiayias' added carrots to the final presentation... They did, however, use a "mirapoua" when making the broth ... Recently I started adding Quinoa to the orzo -- it thickens up the soup nicely... Let me know if you try it (FYI... I also add it to my Giourvalakia)

I ate this a long time ago at a restaurant, and fell in love. I've always wanted to recreate this dish at home! Thank you so much! Wish me luck on my attempt.

My parents are cypriot and we grew up eating this but never ever with garlic and vegetables but I'm sure this way is nice too.

Hi. I would like to know if you wash the chicken before putting it to boil? Cause some say not to wash it any more cause when washing in sink, n’activant spread. And my second question is the rice. Now they usually say to wash rice in cold water before cooking it. Do you do these 2 steps? Thx much.

The soup looks amazing, I want to make it for my friday birthday party and as I am going to have little time on that day, I wanted to do most of teh recipie the day before and I was wondering - at which step should I stop on thursday? Or can I do the whole recipe on thursday and just heat it for the guests on friday? Will the orzo be ovecooked then?

I realize that this was written 10 months ago, so maybe this advice will work for this coming birthday celebration. When I am not serving all at once, I make my carb (orzo, rice, whatever you use) separately and add it on to the portion I’m heating up on the day of serving. It’s an incredibly easy and delicious soup! Happy early and/belated birthday! 🎂

What I do with leftover egg whites is make a lemon meringue pie or meringue cookies.

Looked very good I'm Hungary now

Hi Dimitra, I remember my mom used to beat the egg whites a lot so that the end result was a “frothy” mixture… so you also make it this way or no ?

Going to try it with the yolks, looked like 4 of them?

I just got a job at a Greek restaurant and I've had their avgolemono soup and was unimpressed, so hopefully that was just a sad batch. I want to like this.
