I love to add celery/carrots/daikon radish (chopped moderately fine) to the soup I make – my wife is intolerant to onions/garlic/peppers. The daikon cook into a 'feeling' similar to 'onions'!! A question: did your soup break in the photo above (and other parts of the video footage)? Noting oil around the edges is why I ask. Thanks for your wonderful videos – nicely informative and passionate
I’m making this tomorrow! I’m cooking for one so I will buy 2 or 3 chicken wings to make a nice broth and add a nice mix of fresh herbs. Thanks so much for the recipe. Way easier than it sounds.
Excellent recipe! Thanks . Made this last night, delicious.
** NEW SUB I just found your YT channel. I read you recipes on your blog all the time. I recently found out I am of Croatian ancestry…. so I am learning to cook mediterranean cusine/food. I love lemons and chickpeas so I know I will love this recipe. Thank you
Yummy 👍
I don't ever remember it being made this way. Being 100 perc greek I have a lot of my grandmother's original recipes they made back in the day. And there was never vegetables in it only chicken. To me this a version of chicken noodle soup not avgolemono soup
It's not AvgoleMOno….. It's pronounced AvgoLEmono
My all time pick me up dish. Thank you this is amazing. I’m from Italian heritage and make this for family members. 🇦🇺❤️
Avgolemono soup is just amazing & remindes me of my childhood .. i recommend you just only use the egg yolk, inständig of the Wohle egg .. and Before i put it back to the soup, i make sure to let it go through a strainer to remove everything from the egg .. and so its super smooth and extra delicious <3
greek huh. is it true?
Looks so Yummy, I will try this today. I am so glad I found your site the Mediterranean Dish. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
This version is way better then others , i really don't like the foamy version of this soup – Thanks for sharing 🙂
Today was Avgolemono soup day at home. We found a keeper! What a delicious soup . My super picky daughter loved it! Thank you! Keep up the good work!
i love Avgolemono ( avgo lemo no
New subscriber. I’ve been reading through the comments. People get hung up over the silliest things, pronunciation and is it 💯 Greek or not. Just like every other part of the world, I am sure where you live in Greece depends on how you make the dish. It doesn’t make it less Greek than the version your family may have made. Recipes are meant to be adapted to individual tastes and traditions. If it’s not how you remember it being made then make it the way you remember it. To us American viewers who have never had or heard of this dish it looks delicious to try. I appreciate your time saving tip of using cooked chicken, even if that may not be traditional. I’m all about taking short cuts in the kitchen when possible.
I will love it
Oh Thank you. So simple and of so delicious 😋. This is my go to feel guilty of dish to make now. I have always loved this soup but never thought I could make it until I saw your video. You taught an old dog a new trick and I am very grateful. Nothing is better!!
You’re making things very difficult on me.I love making large batches of soup on a Monday for my wife and myself. We love having healthy soup for the week, especially during the cold months in New England. I was prepared to make your minestrone soup and now I just discovered your Avgolemono soup. I will make one this week and one next week. My dilemma is which one to make first 🤔 I can’t wait to also make your Devilish- spicy shrimp recipe as well. Your Feta Party dip and Halloumi Fries may need to be made soon as well
I wonder if you can use dry egg powder instead of the raw egg
I always say if they made a cilantro perfume, I would wear it.
Hi, Suzy! The celery-carrot-onion mix that you started with is a staple in French cuisine for soups and stews and that chopped mixture is called "Mirepoix" (pronounced "Meer-PWAH". The X is silent). I don't usually buy chopped veggies, but I only use celery in recipes, so it often goes to waste. Trader Joe's sells Mirepoix in a see through plastic container for a very good price, which I find to be cost-effective. I had this delicious dish when I backpacked through Greece as a young man. Can't wait to try this recipe! Thank you!
Looks to thin and pale
Suzie can you freeze this soup
This dish was so amazing. My dad and i make it all the time now. Thank you!
Just made this tonight and its fantastic. Can't wait to have it through out the rest of the week.
I'm not Greek, but I do love your avgolemono soup and I've made this many times following your recipe. 😊 My family loves it too! I also made some of your other recipes like falafel. 😊 Thank you fpr sharing your recipes with us!
