I'm always looking for ways to use our crop of lemons so this one caught my eye. I marinated and roasted the chicken breasts first, then shredded to use them in the soup. I just don't care for poached chicken that much. And, my dill had gone bad so used freeze dried dill which was fine. Its a very good - hearty soup and I loved it! My HB had seconds also.

This soup came out delicious, I cooked the chicken thighs to make the broth and then followed this recipe. The soup came out perfect and so delicious.

Very tasty - made half the recipe. I would make it again

So good! I’d let the soup sit off heat for 10 minutes, I followed the recipe and still got a bit of scrambled eggs (less than a tsp) but it was super hot when I slowly poured in the eggs/lemon juice

Take it from a Greek! lol This soup is absolutely delish! It’s a bit different then the soup (Avgolemono) I grew up with but it’s still has that same great flavor! I’ve made it for friends and family that had Covid and they say it saved them lol

Yummy, but next time I will use chicken thighs instead of breasts for the meat.

Very good but maybe go light with the lemon juice. It had a tart taste from the lemon juice but the flavor was great. I also had to sauté for more than 10 minutes to get everything soft and tender.

Yummly Awesome! I followed the recipe but added better than bouillon. Who makes chicken soup without better than bouillon? The first time I made it it was too much lemon so I cut the lemon juice in half. Since I cut the recipe in half, I only used 2 tbsps of lemon juice. It was perfect Sooooo good! Glad I made a big pot for leftovers.

I’ve made the soup multiple times and it’s one of my family’s favorite soups hands-down great recipe.

UPDATE: On day 2 I reheated the soup, adding chicken Better than Bouillion, which made all the difference!! Now I could give it 3.5 stars.
I used Vite Ramen instead of rice or noodles and dry dill vs fresh. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe. Taste was very one note and not distinctively lemon or dill like I had hoped. I think bigger chunks of carrots and maybe parsnips would have made it better. I won’t make it again.

not a fan, very acidic.

Delicious! Very creamy. Would adjust the pasta to broth ratio for your desired thickness/consistency. Super quick and easy weeknight dinner with leftover rotisserie chicken.

Great soup and easy to make! I originally rated 4 stars, but came back to change it to 5 stars, as it was that much better the next day. I might make it in the summer, let it chill overnight in the fridge, and serve it cold the next day😁

This is one of my favorite soups on this site love how the lemon and the chicken works together and I always add more veggies to my soup. I usually leave out the Orzo

Very light. Wish I’d added a bit more lemon

Loved it but only used a little dried dill. To many other good flavors to over power it with dill. And it would just raise the price of the soup. I will make it again.
