Avgolemono Soup (Greek Egg-Lemon Soup) image

This is my favorite soup ever. I've loved it since I was a little girl. I think this is the closest recipe to the authentic greek restaurants.

This soup is delicious! I love the tangy flavor of the lemon and the richness of the eggs. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold day.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made this soup without the eggs. It was still really good, but I think it would be even better with the eggs.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or rice. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge and this soup is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of egg drop soup, but this soup was actually really good! The lemon flavor was subtle and the eggs were cooked perfectly.

This soup was a little too lemony for my taste, but I think I just added too much lemon juice. I'll try it again with less lemon juice next time.
