SOUPA AVGOLEMONO (EGG-LEMON SOUP)



Soupa Avgolemono (Egg-Lemon Soup) image

This tasty soup is very popular in Greece and Cyprus. I remember my father making it on chilly winter days, especially when there were colds and flu in the household! Sometimes he would add chopped, cooked chicken to the soup, and other times he would serve it plain. This is a taste of my childhood.
