  1. Im a prep chef at coughlins law pittsburgh pa camp horne loc. I just lost my left leg to mrsa on nov14 and havmt been able tk get disability cuz im on med leave ur content helps time go by thru this depression😢 thankyou❤ godbless

  2. I was sous chef back in the day and used to make this soup at the end of brunch rush on Sundays

  3. Also good to mention, you can add avgolemono (avgo=egg, lemoni=lemon) to any soup.

    Take an egg and juice of half a lemon for every 500-750ml.

    Whisk them together with a fork (no need to get the frothy), TEMPER THEM just like chef is doing, and then slowly pour it into ANY soup.

    I have used it for chicken soup, mushroom soup, beef soup… Close to anything. Just not fish.
