A delicious soup with the perfect, not too overwhelming creaminess from the eggs. The zing of the lemon compliments the flavor of the broth nicely. Quick & easy to make!

This soup is more about technique than the ingredients, when done rite it is my favorite soup of all time.
I have made this my self with good success.

LOVE this soup. Been looking for the recipe for a long time. My mamma made it for us growing up. She passed several years ago and never got the recipe or technique of how to make it from her. When I was little i watched her make it but wasn't sure how it was done. THANKS A BUNCH


I make a Greek soup called Avgolemono that is very similar to this but without the carrots and parsley, plus I use the egg whites (beaten until stiff) at the end. The lemon is what makes this soup for me though. Nice post.


Had this again Wednesday and again everyone loved it.
