Avgolemono Chicken Soup Recipe • A Tasty Creamy Soup! | Club Foody

 

Soups… who doesn’t like them? A hot bowl warms us up during the cold winter months and a chilled one refreshes us during the summer. I make a lot of different soups throughout the year. I have a wide array of hot and cold ones, perfect for every season.
 
Among them, I have a few chicken soup recipes; Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chicken Dumpling Soup, Cheesy Chicken Soup, Turkey Noodle that can be easily substituted with chicken, Vegetable Chicken Meatball Soup, Chicken Matzo Ball Soup, Chicken Curry Noodle Soup, Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup, and more including this fabulous one… my Avgolemono Chicken Soup!
 
This is a popular dish found in Greek cuisine although its origin is apparently not from that country. What a flavorful soup! It’s so creamy and velvety with a gorgeous combination of rice, lemon juice, chicken, etc.! It’s very easy to make and the results are simply spectacular.
 
Chicken is one of the main components in this recipe. After it’s cooked in a well-seasoned broth, the poultry is shredded finely in a stand mixer. If you don’t know about this incredibly easy kitchen trick, here’s the link… How to Poach & Shred Chicken the Easy Way. Once again, the meat has to be shredded “fine”; it’s a soup after all!
 
Just like Risotto and Rice Pudding, we DO NOT rinse the starch off the rice. The reason is we want the soup to be creamy and thick. This is an important factor to achieve a creamy texture. In fact, this is a major mistake made by many home cooks when making these kinds of recipes.
 
I incorporate a third of a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice in my eggs. I love the taste of lemon and the amount is perfect for this Avgolemono Chicken Soup recipe. Now if you’re the type of person who’s not a big fan of this fruit, simply reduce the amount down to a ¼ cup. Like I mention often, recipes, in most cases, are a guideline so adjust the ingredients to your liking.
 
With Greek Easter coming up this weekend (May 2nd, 2021), this Avgolemono Chicken Soup is definitely a must try. As the weather can still be on the cooler side, what’s more perfect than serving a nice hot bowl of this delicious soup over the weekend…
Bon Appétit!
