This was wonderful Michelle! I love soup, I love lemon and I love orzo so this was a great combo for me. I eat fresh spinach every day, so I threw some of that in too. Don't know why anyone would call this soup "bad"; it was far from it. If it contained some exotic ingredients I could understand, but this is basic and absolutely delicious. Thanks so much!

Good. Even better with a few tablespoons of white rice that are allowed to cook for a while before adding eggs and lemon. I suspect that those people who tried this and did not like it at all were using a low quality canned chicken broth. Use either a chicken broth in a "parmalat" pack or make your own.

Either I don't appreciate a good avgolemono soup or it's just... bad. We poured the rest of it down the drain, my 1 yr old son took 1 bite and then shook his head about another, and neither my husband nor I just could not stomach eating a whole bowl.

Great! Quick and easy to make. I added a bit more lemon (I love a strong lemon taste). Really helped clear up my congested nose.

Fantastic light flavor, easy preparation. I will add more orzo next time, but only about 1/2 cup more. Superb! I will make it again.

This soup is incredibly easy to throw together and I make it frequently. I increase the orzo by half (3/4 cup instead of 1/2) and usually I double the recipe so there's plenty of leftovers.

I made this because I love the version I've had in restaurants. However, my husband took one bite and couldn't stomach another. Not the best.

This soup was very, very good. I have made it before with a different recipe, and this one tasted better and was much easier. Its not quite as good as the soup from the Greek Restraunt, but it was very close.

I love this soup, being Greek, I have eaten it since I was a child. I would only like to add that in Greece we usually use rice instead of pasta. My family likes to sprinkle a bit cinnamon on top, which except from giving it a nice taste diminishes the smell of eggs and chicken as well.

Maybe I added too much lemon. I used bottled lemon juice instead of a fresh lemon. But it was pretty bland and boring. The egg mixture was unappetizing. Next time (if there is a next time) I wouldn't beat the eggs completely. Chunks of eggs would be better.

This soup is absolutely delicious. I varied the recipe somewhat by frying an onion and a clove of garlic in a little olive oil in the pan before adding the stock. I also added halved kumquats to the stock when preparing (removed before adding the egg-lemon mixture) to add an even more zesty flavour. To top it off, I added a handful of garden peas when the pasta was tender and a generous sprinkling of fresh parsley to finish. Delicious and highly recommended!!
