Chicken Soup Greek, With Avgolemono

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I made this last night and it was delicious! Even my picky eater liked it. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I did use 4 cups chicken broth and 4 cups water. I had some leftover celery leaves which I had been saving for a stew or soup and decided this was the time to use them. It amped up the celery flavor a bit. I put in 1/2 cup rice which was just a bit more than the recipe called for. It was a real treat for me to have a creamy soup that did not call for a can of cream of something soup. As usual the stated prep time is a joke. I usually double the listed time just to be on the safe side. Even in Florida we have gray, chilly days and this was just perfect for that kind of day. Thanks for such a delicious recipe.

    Chicken Soup (Greek, With Avgolemono – Egg/Lemon Sauce),This is the Greek way to cure the common cold. It is delicious. Make sure to mince the vegetables quite fine – you want them soft and melt-in-the-mouth. This is not the soup for crunchy veggies. Please note that the eggs are not ‘raw’ in this soup, but are actually tempered in the hot broth.,I made this last night and it was delicious! Even my picky eater liked it.

Thanks for such a delicious recipe.,Excellent creamy soup! I put the onion, carrot and celery in my mini food processor and shredded a rotisserie chicken. Easy! I also used Orzo (not a big fan of rice) and added a cube of Knorr’s Homestyle Chicken Stock based on other reviewers’ comments. I can’t wait to eat it again tomorrow for lunch!
