Avgolemono – Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

The mixture of eggs lemon and hot broth is a classic combination in Greek cuisine. And if there is a classic dish that emphasizes this combination it is the chickeny avgolemono soup.

Avgo-wha? Ah-vo-LEMEN-o or at least that's what I remember the Greeks at the local diner in New Jersey saying. The "g" isn't always pronounced.

Like gumbo goulash or chili there are countless versions of this soup. Some like this one have chunks of chicken. Some start with a whole chicken and take hours to make. A few have nothing more than chicken broth and the egg-lemon sauce. Most however have a starch like rice or orzo pasta.
