Avgolemono is the Greek word for lemon chicken and rice soup. Avgolemono is a traditional Greek soup known for its creamy and spicy flavor.
The name comes from the Greek words “avgo” (egg) and “lemono” (lemon), highlighting the key ingredients that give the soup its distinctive taste and texture.
The soup typically consists of shredded chicken, chicken broth, rice or barley pasta, beaten eggs, and fresh lemon juice. The eggs are beaten into the broth, creating a velvety and delicious texture. Avgolemono soup is a beloved dish, celebrated for its comforting heat and bright, citrus notes.
Tip: I purchased this awesome one Chicken mincing tool to mince chicken breasts. It’s great for quickly shredding chicken into evenly sized pieces. It’s a great tool to use for shredding the chicken in this recipe.
