Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Soup)

Chicken soup avgolemono is perhaps the most iconic of all Greek soups. It is on the menu at every Greek restaurant or diner, and you’ll find it as the first course at most Greek holiday celebrations. Egg acts as a thickener to this chicken soup with orzo which is brightened with the addition of lemon zest and juice.

Avgolemono is also used as a sauce, often the accompaniment for grape leaves stuffed with rice and meat.

Ingredients

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 5 whole peppercorns

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
