Greek Lemony Chicken Avgolemono Soup, 2 WAYS!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- 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.

Dimitra I have to tell you how grateful I am for posting this recipe. I haven’t had homemade avgolemeno since my mother has been battling Alzheimer’s. I have been cooking the Greek dishes I love so much as a kid. I made it like a yiayia. I needed this to feel better and realize how much I missed my mothers cooking. Thank you again.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My wonderful MIL who was like a mom to me had Alzheimer's so I understand how you are feeling.
Feel the same way about my Dad same situation so glad to find comfort in amazing foods they loved and we ate as kids!!!
Finally someone who has so accurately described bottled lemon juice: "it's good for cleaning, not for consumption".
Hahaha exactly !
Unfortunately as a professional line cook that statement is not completely true. As with anything in cooking your ingredients and their quality dictates your end results. Their are plenty of high quality lemon juice brands that are for more then just cleaning.
Oh Lord, that stuff is gross. Only fresh lemons!!

A line cook isn’t exactly a chef, sorry. No chef would use anything but fresh lemons. It does make a huge difference, regardless of the quality of the bottled stuff. It’s not that hard to cut and squeeze a few lemons. The quality of a dish depends on the quality of the ingredients.
Lol!!
I always loved spending the night or weekends at my Yiayia and Papou's house as a kid..this soup brings me back..waking up to fresh baked bread too..RIP to them both❤
I used to eat this soup at a wonderful Greek restaurant, and it was always so comforting and delicious! Thank you for this recipe!
I finally made this. It's sooo easy. It reminds me of my Greek American friend, Zoe, and her mom, who we all called YiaYia. Great memories. Thank you!
I ate this a long time ago at a restaurant, and fell in love. I've always wanted to recreate this dish at home! Thank you so much! Wish me luck on my attempt.
This is the best soup I've ever tested, and my kids love it. Thank you Dimitra, God bless you.
I made version 2 today for the 3rd time. It keeps getting better. This is the best recipe!! Creamy, rich, smooth and fabulous♥♥
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 RUclips and ironically this video popped up straight away and it was a sign that I needed to make your recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I am making this today. I love lemon and creamy soups. Thank you for linking straight to the recipe.... so that I don't have to search for it. Love the recipe layout as well.
One of my friend made for me and I was in love with this recipe. Thank you for share with us !
My best friends mom would make this for me. They are Greek I am Croatian and never had it. I also LOVED when she made it with whole black bass(fish).That was my favorite ! Thanks so much!
DD, I love your post and your cooking!
I just made the soup! Hubby is throughly impressed! Thank you!
I also made the spinach pie- also your recipe!
Im gonna do this for sure ! So timely for the rainy season here in my country ... Thanks for sharing
These recipes are wonderful! My sisters mother in law was from Greece and she made this all the time....so good!! Miss her.
Glad to see you added turmeric. It deepens the color and flavor of the soup without overpowering it, because the lemon brightens everything up.
So gunna try this. Greek restaurant I use to live by made this every Saturday. I moved to like the middle of Nowhere missed my Saturday soup so now I’ll be making it myself thanks to you ❤️ pairing with some garlic bread 😍
I have never tried Greek food, but I’m determined, with the help of this creator, to learn a few dishes.
An excellent soup! My dearest friend's Papou was the best and he added dill.
Yours looks just as delicious can't wait to make it, Thank you, Dimitria!!
My neighborhood Greek joint has this soup on the menu everyday and it’s always fantastic. I love your recipe and YOU are just adorable. Yas Queen! 🤓❤️
excellent,simple... I find from my experience that once the egg mixture is tempered and added back to the soup, this mixture should not be boiled as it can break. Your joy into your cooking is compelling!! Thanks so much
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!
So I made this soup 🥣 today. I did the one with egg yolks and orzo and man this was so delicious I literally had 3 bowls of it. Thank you so much 😊. I love your recipes
Very GOOD. I swear my immune system wants to clean itself, just by thinking about the recipe. LEGIT.
I made this soup today and it came out amazing! I went with the egg yolk only open, but with rice...forgot to buy orzo!! Didn't matter, was so delicious! Thank you!!
Just made this. Wow! It's special!! Thank you!!!
So glad I found your recipes! My new food crush.
I tried your recipe and it turned out amazing! Thank you!
This is soooo good! I did version #2. Thank you Dimitra ❤️
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!
Thank you ! Very informative… the best on the internet.
God bless you, I can’t wait to make this!!! You explain your recipes so well, I like the way you have everything prepared and have quick delicious old fashion recipes! I will be trying this!
Thanks so much 😊
My all time favourite. This is our go to soup for a hearty pick me up. Even being Italian we love this. 😍🇦🇺❤️
Great vid! Your soup look SO good! Can’t wait to make it!
My favorite Greek diner makes a bomb chicken lemon soup, I’m definitely gonna try this at home, looks delicious! ♥️
Dad was a chef made this often when i was knee high to grasshopper..Brings back memories. RIP Dad.
My favorite soup! Thank you so much.
thank you for the two options. both look delicious. can wait to try them.
Oh boy! That looks yummy!
Can’t wait to make this thank you! ❤️
I have never tried this dish, it looks lovely. I must try it soon, thanks for sharing your method of creating it. Winning!!!
Thank you for the wonderful recipe. Appreciate it and willing to try to make it
This needs a hell of a lot more likes. Adding lemon for fresh flavour and using eggs to bind a soup is well underappreciated.
My ex-girlfriend (who is Greek) left behind some amazing recipes and tips. Like how to make fresh easy pita bread for gyros (and adding the right vegetables for flavour!), that you need to squeeze cucumber for intenser, not-watery flavour of your tzaziki, use fresh herbs as vegetables (fresh dille especially!), bake oyster mushrooms like you'd do with a decent steak to eliminate meat to your diet, or how to prepare complete animal product so to not waste any product, like what you'd do with eastern goat stew. And above all, without spending a lot of time in the kitchen to make everything taste heavinly. Greek cuisine is cooking made easy and fun, pragmatic, but still by using all kinds of fresh ingredients. Absolutely love it.
This soup is well within my top three of recipes, so thanks for sharing your tips! I used the second and "to-the-go"-version of avgolemono soup before, but now I'm definitely trying the second version with seperated eggs!
That soup looks delicious 😋
great clear instructions
Looks yummy
Have to try it!
Great recipes always and very well explans I always enjoy cooking this avgolemone soup with you and I succed always , my family love it so much😊 a very healthy and delicious soup👌👌👌👌
Love it so good,thank you.
PERFECTION, as ALWAYS Dimitra😊💃👌👍🙌💕🍋!!!
Fabulous recipe by a fabulous CHEF.
Just like my mum used to make it except for the carrots, but this could be a regional thing around Greece'.. . brings back alot of memories. Great detailed presentation thank you..
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make this wwhen I have my free days. I'm going through some difficult times now. Please keep me in your prayers.
Praying for you, Tanya!
Best soup ever! Thank you! In Romania we have something similar called Ciorba Radauteana, bur with sour cream, garlic and no rice or orzo.
That sounds delicious. You should make a video making that
My favorite soup of all time.
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
Dimitra's Avgolemono Soup is MY FAVE!!!!! Thanks girl this soup tastes just like i had in Greece. 🥰
Just made this
DELICIOUS!!
Family loved it.
Beautiful recipe! This is the real deal way of doing it 👌
Hope you enjoy
I am very happy tonight, thanks to Dimitra! In the past, I have not been too good at this dish (think scrambled eggs). Tonight I followed her instructions exactly, and BINGO! It turned our perfect :)
Thank you Dimitra, evlogimeni.
Great recipe, I look forward to trying it 😃
Looks delish - will try this today~!
I just made your soup. It is great!
Best chef award Dimitra :-)))
Mmm oh my gosh! There’s a Greek restaurant in town where they always had this with crusty bread. Of course, eating out was (and still is) a luxury. I could totally order just this soup now with one of those ordering apps, but I think I’ll try my hand at cooking my very own batch!
Looks good. I appreciate that you say that this is your way of making it. We don’t bother to separate the yokes and whites and we don’t put carrots in either but we have always had really thick soup from the standard recipe. Each island 🏝 does make it a little different but it is a very traditional Greek soup.
My mom would make avgolemono everytime we were sick and sometimes when we had leftover chicken. Our recipe is more like congee where it's just rice, chicken, the eggwhites and yolks and salt and pepper. Either way the softness of the chicken and rice is amazing but the lemon is really what shines in avgolemono.
Happy new year. Looks delish. Pamela in Detroit Michigan USA
I made this soup today (your version 1) and I love it!! This is my husband's favorite soup and finally I can make it at home!
My yiayia made wonderful avgolemono! She taught me to separate the eggs, whip the white to stiff peaks, fold in the yolks and lemon juice before tempering. It makes a rich but light, almost sensuous texture. Have you ever had it that way? She always used orzo, like you!
That was exactly the way my yiayia made it!
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.
Delicious!
Great, thank you!
I love this soup.
It's my favorite!!
Thank you Dimitra for this recipe it was the Best egg lemon soup We ever had .
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you liked it. Which version did you make?
@@DimitrasDishes The first one rice all the way next try your spanakopita recipe you made my family happy Thanks again.
This is amazing for when you are sick !
I just downloaded this video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Delicious! I love that soup!😊
WE do too! Enjoy!
@@DimitrasDishes You do a great a job!
Looks delicious 😋 😍 👌
OMG unbelievable!!
Thank you so much.
Made the egg yolk only version this week. Sooo good-will try other version soon just to compare both. Thanks, Dimitra!
Wonderful!
The luxurious way
Mmmmm, I am going to try this! 😘
Hope you enjoy every comforting bite! let me know how it turns out :)
I use Japanese stick rice and it's also amazing.
Thank you for your recipe! How long it can be stored in a fridge?
delish!
My mom used to make this amazing egg-lemon chicken soup when I was a kid.
This week I watched your video and I made the soup with 3 egg yolks instead of a whole egg. What a difference it made!
I like the yolk recipe best! That pot your cooking with us beautiful! Where'd you get it, if you please? Le Cruset?
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. :)
Best soup in the world.
Yes, its very comforting :)
Would it be OK to put a bunch of spinach in this? I’m just gonna do it!
My parents are cypriot and we grew up eating this but never ever with garlic and vegetables but I'm sure this way is nice too.
Neither of my Yiayias' added carrots to the final presentation... They did, however, use a "mirapoua" when making the broth ... Recently I started adding Quinoa to the orzo -- it thickens up the soup nicely... Let me know if you try it (FYI... I also add it to my Giourvalakia)
This looks like a soup I loved at Daphne’s California Greek. Have you ever had their fire feta? Would love to see a copycat recipe of that
I've never been there, but I will look into it :) Thanks!
I make it at least 2x a month winter and summer our family loooooooves avgolemono
Dimitra, can you do a video making Youvarlakia? It's a great comfort food, great for winter, and also very easy to make, once the meatballs are done, cooking doesn't take long either.
Yes I have an older video up but I can update it :)
@@DimitrasDishes A very close friend of mine who lives in the US shared one of your videos and tagged me as I'm Greek American living back in Greece. She recently posted pics of food from three of your recipes & sounds excited planning to do moussaka next. I just know she'd like Youvarlakia as she likes hearty soups...I can give her the recipe but I know she's enjoying your videos. :)
The soup looks amazing, I want to make it for my friday birthday party and as I am going to have little time on that day, I wanted to do most of teh recipie the day before and I was wondering - at which step should I stop on thursday? Or can I do the whole recipe on thursday and just heat it for the guests on friday? Will the orzo be ovecooked then?
I realize that this was written 10 months ago, so maybe this advice will work for this coming birthday celebration. When I am not serving all at once, I make my carb (orzo, rice, whatever you use) separately and add it on to the portion I’m heating up on the day of serving. It’s an incredibly easy and delicious soup!
Happy early and/belated birthday! 🎂
Yummy 👍😀💜
Hi Dimitri
Can you mix barley with orzo in your chicken lemony soup
Thanks, Susie
Going to try it with the yolks, looked like 4 of them?
Hi. I would like to know if you wash the chicken before putting it to boil? Cause some say not to wash it any more cause when washing in sink, n’activant spread. And my second question is the rice. Now they usually say to wash rice in cold water before cooking it. Do you do these 2 steps? Thx much.
Hi again. I didn’t get your response. Thx
