Voula's Vegetable Avgolemono Soup (Greek Veggie Egg-Lemon Soup)
Avgolemono is my favorite soup. Usually I have it with chicken and rice. I came up with this vegetarian variation using orzo over Lent because NY had a particularly brutal and never ending winter which overlapped with Eastern Orthodox Easter time (so I was fasting from meat). It transitions nicely into a spring time soup. Enjoy

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean, peel and chop all vegetables. Add to large pot of boiling water with bouillon cubes. I used chicken bouillon, but of course you can use actual broth or vegetable bouillon/broth.
- 2
Bring vegetables to boil and then add orzo. Add salt, pepper, oregano, dill and parsley. Boil till orzo is ready
- 3
When orzo is ready, lower heat. Squeeze lemon juice and set aside. Separate egg yolk from the white. In a bowl whisk egg white till frothy. Add yolk in next and continue to beat. Then add in lemon juice and beat more.

This is the important step! We don't want any curdling so be careful. After you whisk together the egg - lemon sauce, gradually add in about five tablespoons of the soup into bowl and continue to beat. Then pour in the egg lemon mixture and stir gently to distribute it into the soup. It will be frothy on top and as your stir it will take on a nice color and thicken. Make sure not to let the soup boil.

Today, with the cold weather, we decided to make a warm, nutritious, and at the same time delicious soup. I had a little beef in the freezer and leftover roasted chicken from the previous day, so I improvised with whatever vegetables I had and made a super invigorating soup that we really liked and will add to our list of favorite soups!

Meatball Soup with an Egg-Lemon Sauce (Giouvarelakia me Augolemono) Meatball Soup with an Egg-Lemon Sauce (Giouvarelakia me Augolemono)
My mom asked me yesterday what I was thinking of posting for my next recipe this week, I had decided that I was going to make Giouvarelakia – Greek Meatball Soup. We had taken out all the ingredients, set them on the counter, but before I could start cooking I had a few things to do. When I finally went to the kitchen, to my surprise my mom went ahead and did everything from combining the ingredients to cooking the soup.. So, this means I have no other pictures than the featured image to show how this is prepared. I do apologise. 🙂This is a lovely, warm winter soup that combines beef, rice, dill and many more ingredients, that will satisfy that hungry feeling when your coming in from the cold. It has been rather cold here and what else better to eat than soups. 🙂 This one though is different because it also has that tasty addition of lemon juice which just gives each spoonful a WOW taste. (I was going to write a WOW factor but I think that would be a bit too much) hahahaI hope you enjoy this lovely soup recipe 😉

Easy veggie soup Easy veggie soup
Girlfriend wasn't feeling great so she requested soup. This is what I made her because this is what we had in the house. The soup is vegetarian but not vegan because I thickened it with a butter roux but you can use vegan butter, a corn starch slurry, arrowroot, etc., if you prefer.

#GlobalApron 2024 week 38 ingredient onion. I love homemade soup. It is so much better than canned. After cooling I measure 4 cups and put in gallon zip lock bags.. I lay them flat on a sheet pan and freeze. They take little room in the freezer and thaw quickly. There really aren’t measurements for this recipe. You can make a small batch or be like me and end up with 16 quarts.

Revithocarroto Soupa (Greek Chickpea Carrot Soup) Revithocarroto Soupa (Greek Chickpea Carrot Soup)
Chickpeas are a staple in my pantry and even more so during Lent, the 40 day period prior to Easter/Pascha. One of the things I like to make is revithosoupa, a Greek chickpea soup. Tonight I wanted to mix things up to make a variation on the traditional version by adding carrots and fresh garlic. The result? fragrant and delicious
