souGreek Avgo-Lemono Soupa is the
traditional soup served by loving Mothers and Grandmothers (Yia Yia's) to their
family, friends, and loved ones. The soups concept of egg and lemon mixture
originated from the Islands of Greece and eventually followed Greek immigrants
to this country.
For centuries avgolemono soup has been served in Greek
homes as an appetizer, dinner, or cure all. |

souAs an appetizer its light quality was a perfect
start to any home cooked meal. With plenty of fresh Greek or Italian bread it
was a nutritional meal. When a family member did not feel well, regardless of
the symptoms, it always hit the spot and made them feel better.
soucooking any Yia yia's traditional Avgolemono soup is a
time consuming process requiring constant attention. It takes hours to cook yet
years to perfect. Yia yia's would often pass down their version of the soup
along with some family history and stories to the younger generations. Perhaps
the time and love that went into the soup is what gives it almost, a medicinal
quality. Finally that "cure-all" is available anytime.
