Greek Lemony Chicken Avgolemono Soup, 2 WAYS!



The most popular Greek soup has to be the classic Chicken Avgolemono. It is made with an egg-lemon sauce known as avgolemono, homemade chicken stock, flavorful chunks of chicken, and lots of zesty lemon juice. We think of it as Greek penicillin, especially during the colder months.

    Pós eísai , I was wondering if you can combine the two recipes and if it will make a difference. I want the fresh broth of the first way , with the thickness of the second way -egg yolks only and the corn starch ..??

    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.

    My mom made this when we were sick with rice. This soup is how I learned to temper eggs when I was young. I love this soup

    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!

    Serious question, Why do you need to beat the egg whites separately then add the yolk in to beat after? Does it do something different than just beating whole eggs?

    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. 🙂

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

    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!

    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.
