"the real deal" greek avgolemono soup
Vegetable soup
In the island of Zakynthos, where my family comes from, avgolemono soup is a marker for many special occasions and celebrations throughout the year. Whereas in other parts of Greece Xmass dinner will be a turkey of a beef roast, in our house it's always a brimming soup bowl of avgolemono [followed by a big plate of meatballs, but that's another recipe for another time]. There is no orzo [sacrilege!] or chicken [unthinkable!] in this soup. It's barebones basic clean tasting beef broth with a hint of celery, with rice and the magical egg lemon mix that pulls everything together. I always go overboard with the grated gruyere cheese and freshly grated black pepper on top of my plate. Others prefer it pure or with a bit of extra lemon thrown in.
