I love avgolemono soup, though funnily enough when I was in Greece last year I didn't even have it once - perhaps because it was mid summer and just too hot to even think about soup.<br />Sue :-)Couscous & Consciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616224893242380904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-37034849264352010052011-01-20T04:51:02.988-08:002011-01-20T04:51:02.988-08:00I've been seeing this soup in cookbooks for de...I've been seeing this soup in cookbooks for decades, and it's been on my to-cook list for almost as long.

Your photos, especially of the women in traditional dress, are so engaging! I've not heard of this soup, altho I do know what orzo is. But it sounds divine! Even if one is not sick, this soup sounds perfect for a cold, winter day! Thanks for sharing last week on Fresh Friday!
