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. ❤
What a blow! I just finished watching Ken's Avgolemono video and glanced at the comments section - the top one revealed Ken had passed . I am in a bit of a stupor because I have been subscribed to hs channel for many years. He was a rare man in that he was 100% genuine. That remarkable quality shone brightly in every video he made. We weren't close, but I had a couple of conversations with Ken years ago. The positive feelings I derived from those interactions are with me still. Ken made an impression on me, and I looked up to him ( even though I am older than he). I pray he passed peacefully and his soul is being properly nourished - just as Ken helped to nourish us through the kind and selfless act of sharing of his culinary talents. Peace be with you, Ken.
Oh thank you! We ;used to have a Greek restaurant when my husband was still living. They served this, and I loved it, but never found a recipe. I am so grateful. IT brings back such happy memories for me.
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!!
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.
This was the soup my mom would make when I was sick too. My children also love it!! I can taste it now!! Love this soup, very comforting!
I love the simplicity of your version. No throwing out the whites or whipping them seperately...easy peasy. Thank you!
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ken recipe will always be remembered
I just love this soup. OMG
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!
This is my favourite soup and this is the easiest and tastiest recipe I’ve found! Thanks Ken!
You’re very welcome Kate.... 🙏🙏🙏
Have just made this for the first time and we loved it. Think it will become a regular! Great video, thank you.

Awesome!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours Miriam..... 🙏🏼👍🎅❤️☮️🎄
@@KensGreekTable Merry Christmas... might make it again on January 6th too 😉
👍👍👍
Thank you for a recipe that doesn't involve an actual chicken needed. I never liked chicken in my avgolemono
I'm so glad you use the whites of the egg too. I thought I was in a minority of 1!!
+Chris P Nope!!!! Definitely not. Using the whole egg add an extra creaminess to the soup. Enjoy!!!!!
Cheers,
Ken🇨🇦
My favorite soup I grew up with avgolemono soup
Brother we all have…. 👍❤️💪🇬🇷
I love anything Avgolemono, fish, chicken anything. Xx

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
Great food well explained in an entertaining style. I'm sure your get the sound right soon enough. Could you fade out the music after the Intro and then bc again in the outro. Thank you.
+Malcolm Lewis Thanks for the advice Malcolm:-))
Ken this is one of my favourite recipes and I was thinking of making this with cauliflower rice, what do you think? Maybe adding a little cream to help thickening? Although I haven’t had any rice for over a year so maybe I’ll just leave this wonderful soup recipe as is, lol. Would basmati rice work? I do have Arborio rice too.
Hey Valerie, I think the cauliflower rice would work well. The cream??? Not so much. LOL If you want to cream it up a bit, I would use a couple of extra egg whites whipped up.... that should do the trick. As for the type of rice??? I’ve made it with both long grain white and basmati. Both worked well...
Ken Panagopoulos Thank you, ill try it with cauliflower this week.
👍👍👍
Ken Panagopoulos I’ll let you know, I think the cauliflower will need to be cooked well. Like the idea of an extra egg white.
Awesome Valerie!!! Let me know how it turns out...
How much rice should we use?
Good tip on mixing the egg into the hot broth
Thanks very much Amelia!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
HI Ken, love this recipe and I want to make it again this weekend. I've run out of my homemade chicken bone broth, would it still be ok with beef bone broth and I can make a quick chicken broth with a few thighs I have and mix it together? My beef bone broth is rather mild as it was made with just bones, garlic, onions, herbs and spices.
That would be totally fine. As long as the avgolemono is right, you’ll get the same basic flavour profile....
Thank you Ken.
👍👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
By the way my Mom used to make Avgolemono for family gathering and holidays. I love this soup.
Yup! Big around the holidays and totally delicious....
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!
No I’m not telling you.... 😂😂😂 KIDDING!!!! You should add a handful or two. That’s the real measure. As for the lemon, depending on how lemony you like it, I would do the juice of 1-2 lemons. 4th time’s the charm. Good luck Fran!!!
@@KensGreekTable😄 thank you.
I have never tried this with brown rice. DO you think that it would taste the same if you used brown rice? :)
Thank you for your question. I think brown would certainly work. The difference in flavour would be minimal. Good luck and let me know how it turns out:-))
Cheers,
Ken🇨🇦
My first job was at a Greek restaurant called Hellas cafe the owner was Gus Anton he used to make the best avgolemono with chicken. My favorite item on the menu was the Braised lamb ribs. Can you do your version plz
Thank you for your comment. Absolutely!!!! I can certainly do that. Thank you for your request....
Cheers,
Ken🇨🇦
Ken Panagopoulos Thanks for speedy response I look forward to seeing you create a delicious masterpiece! ☺️
👍🙏🏼❤️💪
can your recommend a good olive oil?
Sure lol....
kensgreektable.com/collections/kens-greek-extra-virgin-olive-oil
The recipe shown here is for how many servings? How would I increase the ingredients per person?
This recipe should either be doubled or tripled Peter. Typically, this recipe serves 4 normal people or a couple of hungry Greeks....
Was the chicken in the stock?
Thank you for your comment:! YES the chicken was in the stock:-))
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.
No need to get frustrated. It’s only cooking. Could be you lost the lemon flavour during straining. Next time just don’t strain it and you should be fine....
@@KensGreekTable thanks Ken. Though I will say if you wanted a very fine lemon egg drop soup it was perfect.
Pronunciation- 0:22 - avo LEM-ono soup
I have ate this a various restaurants, and I hate when it doesn’t have the yellow color and no thickness
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.
Thanks very much Al and glad it worked out in the end.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You have to temper the eggs
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?
Oh no... sounds like you didn’t temper your eggs slow enough. That’s pretty much the biggest mistake people make doing this dish is rushing the tempering process which in turn almost scrambles your eggs....
@@KensGreekTable Dang it! I'll try again XD
Just slow it down and you should be fine. Good luck Brooke and let me know how it turns out this time.... 👍🙏🏼💪✌️
@@KensGreekTable will do!
@@KensGreekTable absolutely DELICIOUS! Thank you for the help! It’s a regular thing now in my house
No chicken or orzo ?
Great recipe. Tempo or the music distracting
no chicken?
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!
Haha awesome!!! 💪💪💪
The music is too loud and very distracting...
I heard he was dead... Is this true?
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.
Maybe he died from ink-poisoning, who knows?
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.
Extremely annoying music playing. It's so bad I may not be able to watch the entire video.
