I followed the recipe and it turned out kinda grainy? Like the egg/lemon mixture was kinda seperated from the broth, I'm not sure what I did wrong?
Yasou, great video, I will try it.👍❤️🧿👁
Gia sou Ken!
I love your recipes!

You make it look so easy! Thank you for this simple video! Na’sai kala!
Separation of egg yolk from white is quite unnecessary.
Actually folks, historically speaking, Greek,and Greek Cypriot cuisine is Turkish in origin.
The Pashas had the finest cooks whom they kidnapped from wherever they could.
However, the Greeks have managed to improve on a few of the original recipes.
The famed baklava is a good example.
The Greek Cypriot version is streets ahead of the Turkish original.
Also recipes like stifatho or afelia which contain wine would strictly not be turkish.
My yaya Kalistheny was a legend in the kitchen.
You do go on oh virtue signaler.
Stating the obvious differences between well known recipes does not immediately become incitement to hatred.
You are the one stoking the fire of division.
Just as Roman emporer Lucullus kidnapped cooks from all over the world for his kitchens, the Turks of their time did the same.
Right now I buy Turkish olives, canned tomato products, plus plus
At least we are enjoying the recipes.
Good tip on mixing the egg into the hot broth
Just made this. Used orzo pasta. Added celery, a dash of garlic and half an onion to the broth. Also added a little extra lemon at the end. It was fantastic. It is gourmet but very easy!!
Made this countless times correctly and today was the day I ended up screwing it up. I ended up straining it but I feel like I lost alot of lemon flavor. Either that or my lemon wasn't that great to begin with.
Should I save the strained product or start over again? So frustrated at myself.
Look at you squeezin’ the pith outta that lemon!
I’ve actually been craving this for like 20 years..lol since I moved from Edmonton and my favorite Greek restaurant. I am so happy to have found your channel!
The recipe shown here is for how many servings? How would I increase the ingredients per person?
By the way my Mom used to make Avgolemono for family gathering and holidays. I love this soup.
can your recommend a good olive oil?
I actually make this the way my YiaYia taught me. She would beat the egg whites until stiff then add the yolks one by one. Next she would temper the eggs and return it to the pot.
My mom who was Irish made this for my Dad who was Greek. Yes, it's comfort food for us. When my children were sick, I always made this. Now my grands ask for it when they are sick.
VERY GOOD.
I made this and the liquid was too hot so the egg scrambled so I pretended it was egg drop. Made it better the next time like an ice cream custard by starting out with a lukewarm liquid adding the egg then bringing it up to temp slowly. That worked. I then made a fish version with half chicken stock half fish stock and with cod and rice. Don't know why that's not a thing also. Seafood goes great with lemon. It was as good.
This is my favourite soup and this is the easiest and tastiest recipe I’ve found! Thanks Ken!
I love anything Avgolemono, fish, chicken anything. Xx
Have just made this for the first time and we loved it. Think it will become a regular! Great video, thank you.
Extremely annoying music playing. It's so bad I may not be able to watch the entire video.
Thanks for the recipe your background noise is absolutely and definitely fucking annoying
I'm making this for Christmas today. My favorite!!
I have really enjoyed this recipe and your friendly video – but I'm having a problem. I've made it three times. The first time I took a guess at how much orzo to use, threw it in, and came out with a perfect creamy texture. The second time, the orzo (too much, I guess) absorbed most of the broth. Tried to salvage it, but definitely too thick. Tonight was careful not to use too much orzo – you guessed it, too thin. So: how much orzo should I use, and how much lemon juice, if you can tell me :). Thank you!
The Honey tree just outside of Detroit is my favorite for this soup. I Just made this!!! I love it!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Super easy
I've more of less become a master at this. Sometimes I'll get like a 95% creamy soup minus like 5% egg white strands. I eat it anyways. Too damn good. Made some tonight made it more lemony than yours. Yes Ken I used real lemon and not that in the bottle shit. Opa!
I can’t wait to make this, as I’m a bit under the weather lately! It is the only thing I want when I’m not feeling well 🤒 Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and tips 😀
My favorite soup I grew up with avgolemono soup
just made this am eating it as i type, followed recipe exactly and its fantastic, Yasou
The music is too loud and very distracting…
Great recipe. Tempo or the music distracting
What a wonderful soup! I made this for the first time a couple of nights ago and it turned out delicious. Mine probably wasn’t quite as velvety as yours, but I still thought it was tasty. I just need a bit more practice. Since I make homemade chicken stock a couple of times per week, I’ve always got some available. All I had to do was grab a bag of stock from my freezer, heat it up, and the soup was ready within 20 minutes. Great for a weeknight! Also, this recipe would work for anyone who keeps kosher. Thanks for this easy step by step instructional video! I look forward to trying some of your other recipes!
I have ate this a various restaurants, and I hate when it doesn’t have the yellow color and no thickness
Bravo….I’ll make this tonight for the family. Efharisto!
no chicken?
Yassas !!!!! Making this tonight🤤😋
This was the soup I got when I was sick. I'm under the weather now and Mom asked if I was having Grrek chicken soup um no cause I havevto make it and I don't want to fight now
Ken recipe will always be remembered
Pronunciation- 0:22 – avo LEM-ono soup
Thank you so very much for the recipe, my very first time making it, and I killed it! All because of you! I have YouTube, mini chefs and recipes, you are the best!
I'm so sorry to learn Ken has passed away! I just found his channel today, was looking for a video on how to make avgolemono. RIP Ken, when I make the soup I will think of you. ❤
Thank you for a recipe that doesn't involve an actual chicken needed. I never liked chicken in my avgolemono
I heard he was dead… Is this true?
Maybe he died from ink-poisoning, who knows?
