GREEK AVGOLEMONO SOUP | a lemony chicken and rice soup (in less than 30 minutes!)
This Greek Avgolemono soup is always a winner! Shredded chicken, rice, and a few simple vegetables are stirred into a silky smooth lemon-and-egg broth for a cozy balanced meal.
The ingredients are fairly simple, although, I will say I created a small shortcut. Instead of cooking a whole chicken from scratch to create the shredded chicken and broth, I'm using a rotisserie chicken and boxed chicken broth. I'm also using pre-cooked white rice. Hello meal prep!
Is this an authentic avgolemono soup? Technically, no, but it follows the same concept, with very similar results and flavor. You know me - I'm all for simplifying things as much as I can for a seamless (and easy!) cooking experience. Plus my version gets this healthy Mediterranean soup recipe on the table fast for an easy weeknight dinner meal!

Lemon Pasta | Gennaro Contaldo
A very special moment and tribute, to a very special man. x
Gennaro in Italy
Another video in a series of Gennaro’s recipes from Italy, some of which you, the audience, have specifically asked for, and others are Gennaro doing what the Italians do best – sourcing good ingredients and making simple, bold dishes with little effort and time involved.
Rather than cut these videos right down, we have left them a little longer and kept them relaxed. We think watching Gennaro in Italy is a glorious thing, and Gennaro does such a great job at being both inspiring and entertaining. So sit back and enjoy these as they roll out – we would love to know what you think.
