I have never had this soup before today. i wanted to try because I love greek food since my roots are greek. This recipe was so simple and easy, yet so delicious. No one would ever believe you didn't spend all day on it. If you have not tried it, it is a must! Enjoy!

this is really excellent--the egg thickens up the broth nicely and the lemon is delicious. I wilted a little spinach in the broth at the last minute.
perfectly authentic

Cora, you deserve a pat on the back. This soup was very satisfying. I accidentally used orzo pasta or something instead of the called for grain and it still was great. My husband is a chef and he even didnt have critique for me! The only thing is I would use next time 1/3rd less lemon. It was VERY lemony. I love lemon, but I would have used a touch less. GREAT GREAT GREAT!!
yummy

When I was young the Greek resturant in town made this wonderful soup in the winter. Sadly they do not serve it anymore. My husband found this recipe and made if for me. It was just as I remembered.
Yummy!

This soup tasted great! It does take a while to make a soup from scratch, but it was very simple. The directions are perfect, except that this made a huge amount, even though I reduced some of the quantities. I would recommend halving the recipe for 4 people. Totally recommend!
Good soup

This was a good soup. I think it would be better if it had a creamier taste. Maybe I just got tired of it because it made quite a batch. If I make it again, I will have to cut the recipe or freeze the leftovers in smaller batches.
Just like Yiayia used to make

This soup was very simple. I had a left over rotisserie chicken and just used that with Jasmine rice. I did need to add more water. Tasted similar to Greek soups we've had at restaurants.
Awesome!

Really, really yummy!! Very much like the version I grew up with. We use orzo rather than rice and, in that case, I find the results are better when the orzo is cooked seperate, then added later. Orzo tends to "grow" and make the stock a bit too starchy. This is a great recipe for new cooks in that it tastes really labor intensive, yet is SO simple! Thanks Cat!
WOW!

oh my gosh! this is probably the best soup I've ever had! The eggs give it the creaminess of a bisque without the fat and calories...
Authentic & Excellent!

Tried this twice - first time came out perfect, next time I tried cooking the rice separately and then adding to the soup - no good! The soup was too thin. Definitely will make again, next time with the rice IN the soup like I did at first (what the recipe calls for)!
Easy to make, tastes GREAT!!

This is by far the best chicken soup I have ever had! Two thumbs up to Cat Cora! I love it and it was really easy to make. I wasn't sure if I'd like the lemon, but it gives it a nice twange that is unbelievable. :)
great
