I loved it, however, I did use orzo instead of rice and left out the carrots, mainly because I had this soup once with carrots in a restaurant and I felt the carrot taste infringed on the lemon taste. Just a matter of personal preference.

Such a great twist from the regular old chicken noodle soup! : I already had orzo in the pantry, so that's what I used... fabulous! And who can complain about that smell in the kitchen. My hubby said you could smell it outside! :

I love Avgolemeno and have been paying $13 something a quart from my favorite Greek restaurant. Not anymore! I love this homemade chicken stock...so much better than the organic boxed one I previously used (although since I retired, I have time to make it from scratch now that I have a good recipe. I didn't have a leek on hand so I used celery. I also used some fresh garlic and added a shallot to my onion. Next time I will use a leek. I also have been enjoying the carrots that I pulled out from the stock - my dog will sit on command for these treats!

I am all about short cuts so I bought a precooked chicken. I cooked canned broth with the leek, carrot and bay leaves for about 45 min. Then I just followed the recipe as is. Turned out great!

I have made this soup every other week during the winter and probably keep making when the weather is warm. Very easy to make!!! My daughter works in a Greek Restaurant and I think my soup is better then theirs.
This recipe is a must try!!!

I , don't know, ladies, what are you all talking about. Followed instructions with the utmost precision. Had to throw away bunch of nice ingredients. My family, especially my five year old just refused to eat that...

This recipe is outstanding. I have made this soup on many occasions. Only complaints are that the soup could be a little thicker (slurry can fix that, though not exactly traditional and the leeks are a little tedious to fish out of the broth because they fall apart and become almost transparent. As-is, the soup is very pleasing. Great left over, too.
