This lively lemon egg soup has been a staple in Greece for centuries. Creamy and pungent with lemon flavor, this must be Greece’s answer to other national comfort chicken soups.
You might be surprised to learn that this celebrated Greek soup has its roots in Spanish Sephardic history. Apparently, it made its way from Spain to Greece during the Spanish Inquisition, according to culinary historian Claudia Roden. You can find different versions in Turkey and throughout the Middle East. There is also an avgolemono sauce that is popular to accompany chicken or fish.
