My whole family loves this soup! I modified this a little bit, though. I also substituted orzo pasta for the rice.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have chicken soup greek style using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Chicken soup greek style:
  1. Get 2 chicken legs (thighs and shoulder or half a chicken)
  2. Make ready 1 1/2 ltr water
  3. Prepare 1 onion
  4. Make ready 1 carrot

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Greek Lemon Rice and Chicken Soup also known as Avgolemono is now one of my favorite easy soups to make! I know this yummy soup has been around for a very long time, but my first time trying this was last year when I visited San Francisco. San Francisco is an amazing foodie city where you can find restaurants that serve food from all different parts of the world at any given time of the day.

Steps to make Chicken soup greek style:
  1. In a large pot add the chicken the onion and carrot whole. Add the all spice the olive oil and the water and bring to a boil. There will be a froth formed so remove it with a spoon.
  2. Turn the heat on medium and let the chicken boil until you see it separates from the bone, almost an hour.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a tray. Season generously with salt and cover. The meat will absorb the salt. Remove the carrot, onion and all spice and throw away.
  4. Bring the broth to a boil, season with salt and add the orzo. Cook for 10-11 minutes. While the broth is boiling keep aside a cup of the broth for later. (We will need it for the avgolemono, we need it to be warm and not boiling hot).
  5. When the orzo is almost cooked remove the pot from the stove.
  6. Let's get the avgolemono goining. Separate the egg whites from the yokes. Keep the yokes aside and squeeze the lemons to take the juice.
  7. Whisk the egg whites until fluffy, add the yolks and mix to combine. Add the lemon juice while whisking. Add the broth you set aside earlier and continue whisking. The avgolemono is ready. Pour it into the pot and stir for a couple of seconds.
  8. Serve the soup with freshly ground pepper and the chicken. I like to add the chicken into my soup in small pieces. Enjoy!

Chicken soup avgolemono is perhaps the most iconic of all Greek soups. It is on the menu at every Greek restaurant or diner, and you'll find it as the first course at most Greek holiday celebrations. Egg acts as a thickener to this chicken soup with orzo which is brightened with the addition of lemon zest and juice. This is the traditional recipe made in Greek kitchens. Then I give them a warm bowl of chicken soup.
