🇬🇷 Greece recipe

Avgolemono

Avgolemono is the quintessential Greek comfort soup, a velvety, warming bowl of chicken broth thickened and brightened with a silky emulsion of eggs and fresh lemon juice. With tender chicken and orzo pasta, it is a dish that Greek grandmothers have been making to cure everything from cold weather to broken hearts.
