In reply to Elisabeth Yakou. Ooh, I love that Elisabeth. Thanks so much for the tip. I'll definitely need to try that next time. And I love the meatball idea, too!

I am Greek and Avgolemono soup is a must in our family. IAvgolemono in Greek means the combination of eggs with lemon. Avgo=egg and lemoni=lemon. The difference in your recipe with ours apart from the substitution of orzo to rice, is that we never separate the eggs. We beat the eggs as a whole for quite some time with an electric mixer until they become whitish and then we turn off the mixer and we slowly add the lemon while stirring with a spoon. The tricky part is when you combine the avgolemono with the hot soup, not to cook the eggs. We pour one by one a ladle spoon of hot spoon into the avgolemono while we stir fast manually the mixture to avoid this overcooking. I highly recommend this soup and I can also suggest that you may substitute the chicken with meatballs.

Oh Lynne! Yours sounds like my house was from time to time. But since my boys (who are 19 months apart in age) left home for college…they have more appreciation for each other now when they are together. You were wise to take some time for yourself. I’ve had this soup once before and it was sensational! Hopefully this bright burst of lemon in a warm chicken soup was enough to comfort everyone in your family tonight! Hang in there! : )

What a day for you Lynne. I guess some days you just need a closet and a Cadbury egg. {{{hugggz}}}

The soup really sounds amazing. I love lemon and this soup looks delish! When I try it I will be sure to try it with corn starch.

In reply to parenting articles. Why thank you, Steve! You've made me smile about the photos because at this point I'm aggravated that my Nikon D40 is in the shop and I'm not able to make the kind of pictures I'd like.
I will definitely be by to check out that recipe ~ have never had chicken gumbo!
