Hi Everyone! Just a short word, I'm aware that the Greek pronounciation of Avgolemono is Ahvo-lemono...the "G" is very lightly pronounced...somewhat silent and the accent is on the "le." Since most of us here are American, we're making it simple. Recipe is Yiayia approved, I promise :-) Let's enjoy the food and not worry about the words.
Are you Greek?

** NEW SUB I just found your YT channel. I read you recipes on your blog all the time. I recently found out I am of Croatian ancestry.... so I am learning to cook mediterranean cusine/food. I love lemons and chickpeas so I know I will love this recipe. Thank you
My pleasure! So glad to have you here!
New subscriber. I’ve been reading through the comments. People get hung up over the silliest things, pronunciation and is it 💯 Greek or not. Just like every other part of the world, I am sure where you live in Greece depends on how you make the dish. It doesn’t make it less Greek than the version your family may have made. Recipes are meant to be adapted to individual tastes and traditions. If it’s not how you remember it being made then make it the way you remember it. To us American viewers who have never had or heard of this dish it looks delicious to try. I appreciate your time saving tip of using cooked chicken, even if that may not be traditional. I’m all about taking short cuts in the kitchen when possible.
My all time pick me up dish. Thank you this is amazing. I’m from Italian heritage and make this for family members. 🇦🇺❤️
I'm not Greek, but I do love your avgolemono soup and I've made this many times following your recipe. 😊 My family loves it too! I also made some of your other recipes like falafel. 😊 Thank you fpr sharing your recipes with us!
That's great! Thank you so much!
i am gonna have to do this one too lol. i will make a lot of your recipes, they look so appetizing 😊
Hello Suzy! Especially, every summer when I get from Romania to Greece it is my favorite. As a suggestion at the end, instead of parsley chop dill.Thanks for the recipe!
Florin Preda dill would be wonderful here as well! Thank you for sharing!
Hi, Suzy! The celery-carrot-onion mix that you started with is a staple in French cuisine for soups and stews and that chopped mixture is called "Mirepoix" (pronounced "Meer-PWAH". The X is silent). I don't usually buy chopped veggies, but I only use celery in recipes, so it often goes to waste. Trader Joe's sells Mirepoix in a see through plastic container for a very good price, which I find to be cost-effective. I had this delicious dish when I backpacked through Greece as a young man. Can't wait to try this recipe! Thank you!
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing!!
Avgolemono soup is just amazing & remindes me of my childhood .. i recommend you just only use the egg yolk, inständig of the Wohle egg .. and Before i put it back to the soup, i make sure to let it go through a strainer to remove everything from the egg .. and so its super smooth and extra delicious
I’m making this tomorrow! I’m cooking for one so I will buy 2 or 3 chicken wings to make a nice broth and add a nice mix of fresh herbs. Thanks so much for the recipe. Way easier than it sounds.
Thanks, Halona! Hope you enjoyed it!
You’re making things very difficult on me.I love making large batches of soup on a Monday for my wife and myself. We love having healthy soup for the week, especially during the cold months in New England. I was prepared to make your minestrone soup and now I just discovered your Avgolemono soup. I will make one this week and one next week. My dilemma is which one to make first 🤔 I can’t wait to also make your Devilish- spicy shrimp recipe as well. Your Feta Party dip and Halloumi Fries may need to be made soon as well
Yay! I hope you got to try all of those recipes!
I feel your pain, Greg.🧐
Wow
Enjoy!
Just made this and it's so good and creamy ...my family and I loved it. Can you make a video on all things olive oil? I always wonder if I'm getting a good olive oil at the store when there are so many to choose from! Thanks again for the recipe
So glad you enjoyed it! Great idea regarding the olive oil video, there is a lot of olive oil out there and hard to find the right thing. But, as far as quality olive oils go, the olive oils I use on a daily bases come directly from Greece from two family owned groves, and you can actually find them on our site with all info included (hand picked, cold pressed, single estate etc) here is the link: shop.themediterraneandish.com/product-category/olive-oil/
This version is way better then others , i really don't like the foamy version of this soup - Thanks for sharing :)
I love to add celery/carrots/daikon radish (chopped moderately fine) to the soup I make - my wife is intolerant to onions/garlic/peppers. The daikon cook into a 'feeling' similar to 'onions'!! A question: did your soup break in the photo above (and other parts of the video footage)? Noting oil around the edges is why I ask. Thanks for your wonderful videos - nicely informative and passionate
No... I don't recall the soup breaking at all.
I always say if they made a cilantro perfume, I would wear it.
Lol! I love that! I feel that way about Garlic!
If *I* used a cilantro perfume, I'd love it, but I'd be instantly single. 😒
Suzie can you freeze this soup
Woman after my own heart ! Garlic perfume!😂
Lol! Yes!
AVGO🥚LÉMONO🍋
i love Avgolemono ( avgo lemo no
They don't use garlic they don't use pre-packaged chicken and they don't use rice
I was about to say that I’m Greek and been eating this soup my whole life this is not how you make it 😖
@@Cheyr0se THE SKY IS FALLING!! 🙄
You are so sweet
Ah, Suzy. Things are looking grim in my household. I'm hesitant to blame you, yet you leave me no recourse.
THE PROBLEM: I JUST found your website, the result being that you and your recipes used up the entirety of our remaining printer paper. The worst part is that my husband has a presentation to give tomorrow. I couldn't help it! I lost control! Did you HAVE TO publish only 100% delicious looking/sounding recipes? Could you have not put something truly mundane in there, like.... oh, I don't know.... plain toast, to quell my maniacal drooling and printing frenzy?
He's. Not. Pleased. With. Me.
So I'm going to have to start cooking some of these to get back on his good side. I'm guessing any one of the recipes I've printed would cast the appropriate spell and aid in removing that glare from his face.
QUESTION: What's the best way to find garlic-heavy recipes on your site? (TIA!)
greek huh. is it true?
It's not AvgoleMOno..... It's pronounced AvgoLEmono
It's pronounced av go lem eno not
I don't ever remember it being made this way. Being 100 perc greek I have a lot of my grandmother's original recipes they made back in the day. And there was never vegetables in it only chicken. To me this a version of chicken noodle soup not avgolemono soup
Hi there Krisanthya! You can definitely omit the vegetables if you want, although I know some Greeks that add veggies to their avgolemono and it tastes great! Also, this recipe calls for rice and eggs, which are not typical in a chicken noodle soup. Enjoy!
I disagree! I'm 100% Greek and my mom used me to help with the tempering. As she poured the ladles of broth, she would do this smacking of her lips as if blowing a long drawn out kiss! She also added big chunks of carrots and celery, after boiling the chicken she would shred and add in there. And that was her 100% Greek way. I've had this soup at family's similarly. Oh and yes, accent on the LE in avgolemono. ;-)
I guess we can agree to disagree then. Every recipe is adaptable to one’s own taste. My moms falafel recipe is different than the street merchants in Cairo. But they’re both Egyptian recipes. No conflict there. And yes, I know I mispronounced avgolemono. I guess that sort of thing is bound to happen since Greek is not my native language. But at least I tried! And by the way, LOVE Greek cuisine and am proud to share Greek recipes to non-Greeks around the world 🙂
@@TheMediterraneanDish And we're damned appreciative! 🥰
Looks to thin and pale
In her older videos she is softer n nicer - none of the abrasive brassiness of the newer videos
That's just creepy. Misogynistic much?
I will try this dish soon ☺️
