I am 100% Greek and I 100% approve of this soup! I did not have orzo and thank you for including the instructions for rice. I've always been intimidated to make this soup but your recipe has it broken down in to such simple steps, it was actually easy to make, and delicious to eat.
Yiasou..... and this Greek Soup is properly pronounced like this: AV-GO-LEM-OH-NO SOUP). Also I use a double fork to mix the egg lemon mixture... (Placing 1 fork on top of the other to really beat the egg lemon mixture well, and that works better than using a single fork, or even using a wire whisk. "Nothing beats mixing with double forks because the double forks add proper weight, and while mixing increases the volume of the mixture since enough air gets in and the end result is always the most creamy delicious thickened egg lemon mixture".....Enjoy & thanks for posting your video.
What does one make when they are not feeling well and they are Greek? Avo-go-lemo-no soup. Don't have time to make Momma's version so thank goodness you made this version! And we have our lemon tree in the backyard that makes the best lemons.
Just made it...absolutely fantastic! I did add some chicken that I had picked off a roaster and froze...just thawed in microwave so I could add at end...even added the feta...just like heaven! This was my very first recipe in my instant pot too.
I’ve made this twice now in the past week, once with jasmine rice and once with orzo. The orzo of course was lighter and a bit healthier, but the rice added tons of flavor and a thicker texture. Both turned out fantastically though. I’ll definitely be making this again.
As you may have guessed, I'm catching up on some of your other videos in anticipation of the arrival of my Instant Pot. I was imagining what this recipe would taste like and, just before you said it, I thought, "I bet that would be great with some feta cheese on top!" Great minds, and all of that (I too am a Sondheim fanatic). Your videos are so much fun to watch!
This is ultimate comfort food! Looking forward to preparing at home. Add a lovely spinach salad with feta cheese and a warmed pita and tuck into a great dinner after an exhausting day at work.
No idea if any others had any issues, but the quick release caused quite the mess. But happy to say it came out really good in the end. I added a third lemon to the egg-lemon mixture cause I love lemon, and added pepper and even more lemon juice to the bowl once I poured it in for eating. I liked it better than my grandma's avgolemono soup actually
Gerry Schipper so glad you love it! Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest! The same amount of time if you double should be just fine for cooking!
Jeffrey I loved this!! But it makes too much for two people so I hoped for leftovers. But after it was in the fridge it turned almost solid! Any suggestions on how to reheat it so that it becomes a soup again?
Mine didn't turn out hard at all in the fridge. But if it's all a solid, I would try adding water once you start to hear it up, the water may help break it down

We make this soup in Mexico too, only with lime juice and add cilantro. It’s Yucatán style Chicken, Lime and Orzo soup. Delicious! 🍲
Awesome recipe video Jeffrey!! ❤️❤️👍🏻 I just love your personality!
Just Survive to Thrive you're a total peach! Thank you!!
Love your recipes, you have turned me into a good cook!
Just made it but with pastini , liquid egg whites and a little Parmesan sprinkle. Fantastic!

Oh that's terrific, Gerry! SO glad I was able to be of some assistance for your rookie try and that it was a home run!

Loretta De Sio and this couldn't be easier or quicker to make! Enjoy!
Pressure Luck - Tried this tonight. It was very good. I added some roasted chicken I had already cooked. Lovely! Thank you!

Wow! I might have to try this today.
Do it! SOOOOO easy and delicious!
Ooooh wonder if that would work with cauliflower rice???
Let me know!
Love this ! Wonder if I could use riced cauliflower instead to make it low carb??? Your videos ROCK!!! Big smootches from down south!
Absolutely! And thank you! I LOVE the south!
if I double the recipe, what is the time I should cook the orzo for? Love it so much that I want more!!!
