I will try this great recipe, ando totally agree a whole chicken makes a huge diference in taste 🤗
I love chicken and rice soups. But this recipe is a kick up the alley. A must try during the winter months in Nortern Ontario Canada. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Great Video.
Best Regards.
Being Greek this is my comfort food. I make small batches in half hour if I need to but usually make a big pot and it eat it all within 2-3 days. I make roughly 2 gallons with 2 cups of rice, 6 eggs and one cup of lemon. I usually add a couple more lemons after it's done.
And the soup is always a lemony yellow colour, this one looks much too white.
Besides chicken thigh cutlets, the egg noodles and the 4 eggs l also add golden bubbly hot butter to the hot chicken stock along with cracked salt and two cups of lemon juice. Absolutely delicious Greek style too
Dill and parsley take this soup to a different level! Πολύ ωραία, Μπράβο 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌
Well so far I only see about three people who have actually made this recipe, including myself. It was about 10F last night outside and breezy here on a small island in Kittery, Maine. We have always made scratch chicken soup, but made this recipe last night EXACTLY as you did and man my wife and I and our friends that visited all agree that this recipe is hands down THE BEST. It paired really nice with a chilled white wine we get from Sharpe Hill Vineyards in CT. Used to get a very similar soup at a Greek place we really liked but never were able to duplicate it. This is the stuff but even better. I think the key is the small dice vegetables and the lemon. The eggs really gave it a nice thick consistency. Thanks loads for sharing!
OMG! I LOVE THIS SOUP!!!! Especially like the addition of leeks...adds so much more flavor. The only thing I do differently is the avgolemono. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
Man i really appreciate this channel. My wife is a BIG soup lover and i love making the different soups on your channel for her. Thanks Chef!
It’s great to see your version of Avgolemono. It is one of my winter favs. Add a chicken salad sandwich on toasted cinnamon raisin bread and Life is Good!
This is my absolute favorite soup. I will definitely make it. Thanks chef.
I’m so cold right now but the thought of making this is already warming me up! I’ve been big into soups lately. I love the presentation of your video. I make cooking videos too! 🧑🍳 I love to be inspired and learn from other talented creators like you. 👍🏻thanks for sharing!
Omg, where have I been? I never heard of this but now I need to make it!
I love that the world has people like us who just want to cook eat and have fun!
Chef is right. Follow technique for tempering the eggs. I have made the mistake in the past for not. You will get scrambled eggs! Live and learn! Thank you Chef! 😀
Made this for dinner last night. It was a huge hit! My brother in law who lives with us is very picky. We assumed he could figure out dinner for himself with the extra chicken. What a shock. He loved it. I just told him it was a version of chicken soup. If I had said it was Avgolemono soup, he wouldn't have even tried it.
Mr. P this looks delicious I will make it thank you and May God Bless 🙏
I've never heard of this. Looks so good! Thanks Chef
Make this all the time. My family also like pork and celery, pork and leek, pork and greens. Chicken and leeks is good.
I love that you cheer us on to try your recipes. But I really like how you teach how to make the recipes. The step by step and explanation on why or why not is amazing. You make trying this recipe easy to follow, so thank you so much for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼 also it make me come back for more recipes 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
A variation that my Greek mom uses is orzo instead of rice. We often use hilopites, which are small egg noodles, in my parents' villages when making avgolemono, and orzo is a great adaptation we learned in the US. It gives the starchiness of rice, but a bit more bite from the pasta than the mushiness you get from rice. Other small pasta (ditilini, couscous, pastina) would be great too, avgolemono is a lovely rustic dish that lends itself to whatever you have on hand.
I tend to make avgolemono when I realize I've got too much leftover rice from another meal. This recipe is interesting, but time consuming. Also, I find it just as good to use leftovers from a roasted chicken (store bought, or not); they're going into a wet base, so if there's any bit of dryness, it absorbs the liquid anyway.
Make/heat some broth from anything (bouillon, boxed broth, chicken carcass), add the rice and chicken, then whisk in whole eggs and lots of lemon juice, adding slowly.
I don't necessarily temper the eggs, but do take the pot off the burner beforehand so it's not on a hot flame or coil, and pour it in while slowly stirring.
Some day maybe I'll try this, with all the extra vegetables, but for now I like to think the lemon and eggs should be the standout features. You don't even need chicken, especially if you're using a good chicken broth! Sort of like the simplicity of Italian straciatella, or Asian egg drop soup.
Yep. Definitely making this
Can’t wait to try! Love your recipes
Looks absolutely delicious! Will try this for sure!
Looks so yummy and mouthwatering! Thank you for the step by step instructions and for sharing.
This looks quite simple and I KNOW I can make this. My favorite soup, too!!
Thank you so much Chef Billy. I love soup but have never heard of this one. Definitely will be making it. We are in a deep freeze here in Calgary so a hearty bowl of soup is a must. P.S. If anybody else says ‘it’s a dry cold’ - well, I’ll just leave you with that 🤣🤣☃️
Interesting sharing, awesome recipe and looks yummy too, cheers,....🥰😍
Nice 😋
Nice soup
He's going to "SHtrain" it ladies and gentlemen.
New subscriber here. Great content, thank you. I was watching one of your earlier videos and you mentioned your techniques with knives video. I can't seem to find it among your hundreds available LOL.
What garlic press do you use?
you can use orzu pasta instead of rice if you like.
U put veg in it ?❤️🙏

Hey ..its better to boil the water first then add the chicken and other ingredients ..you get the most pure broth
I agree - an inexperienced cook might not factor in the time it takes to get the pot to a boil (at least 10 minutes on my stove) before reducing to a simmer. I was also surprised to see Chef Billy cook the stock covered. Leaving uncovered encourages reduction and concentrates the flavor.
Sorry cheff but this nothing but avgolemon soup. It is a vegetable soup with rice lemon and egg. The real avgolemon is what it says Avgo "eggs" lemonon "lemon" with rice and pieces of chicken
There is eggs, lemon, chicken, and rice in it. I’m confused by your comment?
Yes you're right here but NOTHING ELSE . No vegetables. Thats how we do it in CYPRUS
@@nicosnardis6927 Good for you! Keep making it your way...in CYPRUS! I have tried the traditional soup and found it extremely boring. The chef is trying to make it more interesting and Healthy by adding more vegetables. If you want people to make your soup, upload your own video for comparison
@@liavalis5236 Of course i will eating the soup " that way " sweetheart because is the original . After the church service on Easter Saturday after 40 days of fasting ( only if you a Christian believer ) we eat that soup as the service finished and going home to celebrate Easter. Thanks for your response Have a lovely day 😊😘😀☺️
