  1. Well so far I only see about three people who have actually made this recipe, including myself. It was about 10F last night outside and breezy here on a small island in Kittery, Maine. We have always made scratch chicken soup, but made this recipe last night EXACTLY as you did and man my wife and I and our friends that visited all agree that this recipe is hands down THE BEST. It paired really nice with a chilled white wine we get from Sharpe Hill Vineyards in CT. Used to get a very similar soup at a Greek place we really liked but never were able to duplicate it. This is the stuff but even better. I think the key is the small dice vegetables and the lemon. The eggs really gave it a nice thick consistency. Thanks loads for sharing!

  2. OMG! I LOVE THIS SOUP!!!! Especially like the addition of leeks…adds so much more flavor. The only thing I do differently is the avgolemono. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

  3. A variation that my Greek mom uses is orzo instead of rice. We often use hilopites, which are small egg noodles, in my parents' villages when making avgolemono, and orzo is a great adaptation we learned in the US. It gives the starchiness of rice, but a bit more bite from the pasta than the mushiness you get from rice. Other small pasta (ditilini, couscous, pastina) would be great too, avgolemono is a lovely rustic dish that lends itself to whatever you have on hand.

  4. Iโ€™m so cold right now but the thought of making this is already warming me up! Iโ€™ve been big into soups lately. I love the presentation of your video. I make cooking videos too! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ I love to be inspired and learn from other talented creators like you. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปthanks for sharing!

  5. Sorry cheff but this nothing but avgolemon soup. It is a vegetable soup with rice lemon and egg. The real avgolemon is what it says Avgo "eggs" lemonon "lemon" with rice and pieces of chicken

  6. Made this for dinner last night. It was a huge hit! My brother in law who lives with us is very picky. We assumed he could figure out dinner for himself with the extra chicken. What a shock. He loved it. I just told him it was a version of chicken soup. If I had said it was Avgolemono soup, he wouldn't have even tried it.

  7. Dill and parsley take this soup to a different level! ฮ ฮฟฮปฯ ฯ‰ฯฮฑฮฏฮฑ, ฮœฯ€ฯฮฌฮฒฮฟ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Œ

  9. I love chicken and rice soups. But this recipe is a kick up the alley. A must try during the winter months in Nortern Ontario Canada. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Great Video.

  10. Thank you so much Chef Billy. I love soup but have never heard of this one. Definitely will be making it. We are in a deep freeze here in Calgary so a hearty bowl of soup is a must. P.S. If anybody else says โ€˜itโ€™s a dry coldโ€™ – well, Iโ€™ll just leave you with that ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃโ˜ƒ๏ธ

  11. Itโ€™s great to see your version of Avgolemono. It is one of my winter favs. Add a chicken salad sandwich on toasted cinnamon raisin bread and Life is Good!

  12. I love that you cheer us on to try your recipes. But I really like how you teach how to make the recipes. The step by step and explanation on why or why not is amazing. You make trying this recipe easy to follow, so thank you so much for sharing. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ also it make me come back for more recipes ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

  13. Being Greek this is my comfort food. I make small batches in half hour if I need to but usually make a big pot and it eat it all within 2-3 days. I make roughly 2 gallons with 2 cups of rice, 6 eggs and one cup of lemon. I usually add a couple more lemons after it's done.
