Greek chicken soup, also known as 'Avgolemono,' is a classic and comforting dish that features the zesty flavor of lemon combined with the richness of chicken and the creaminess of an egg-based broth. This Greek culinary delight is perfect for a cozy meal on a cold day or as a refreshing soup year-round.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before proceeding with the rest of the recipe to ensure safety and flavor.
- When adding the egg and lemon mixture back into the soup, do so slowly and constantly stir to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- For a more velvety texture, you can strain the egg and lemon mixture before whisking it into the broth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end to suit your preference—add more lemon juice for extra tang or more salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
Greek chicken soup is a delightful and nourishing dish that combines the tanginess of lemon, the richness of eggs, and the heartiness of chicken and rice. It's a perfect blend of flavors that will surely leave you satisfied and warmed. Enjoy your homemade Avgolemono with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a side of crusty bread for an authentic Greek experience.
