    The soup looks amazing, I want to make it for my friday birthday party and as I am going to have little time on that day, I wanted to do most of teh recipie the day before and I was wondering – at which step should I stop on thursday? Or can I do the whole recipe on thursday and just heat it for the guests on friday? Will the orzo be ovecooked then?

    Mmm oh my gosh! There’s a Greek restaurant in town where they always had this with crusty bread. Of course, eating out was (and still is) a luxury. I could totally order just this soup now with one of those ordering apps, but I think I’ll try my hand at cooking my very own batch!

    Looks good. I appreciate that you say that this is your way of making it. We don’t bother to separate the yokes and whites and we don’t put carrots in either but we have always had really thick soup from the standard recipe. Each island 🏝 does make it a little different but it is a very traditional Greek soup.

    As I was reading the comments, I noted that someone's Παππούς added dill to the recipe … So I went back to my Κριτικά Γιαγιά's recipes and found that she used dill when making "margeritsa" for Πάσχα…
    …On the other side of the Mediterranean, my γιαγιά from the island of Κύπρος would make her "version" of mageritsa using boned lamb shoulder that was marinated in burgundy wine, beef broth, κριθαράκι,

    Neither of my Yiayias' added carrots to the final presentation… They did, however, use a "mirapoua" when making the broth … Recently I started adding Quinoa to the orzo — it thickens up the soup nicely… Let me know if you try it (FYI… I also add it to my Giourvalakia)

    One of my aunts or I dont know on my Greek side, said when you doing that you need to hiss at it as you whisk it so it does not curl up. I do remember that.

    excellent,simple… I find from my experience that once the egg mixture is tempered and added back to the soup, this mixture should not be boiled as it can break. Your joy into your cooking is compelling!! Thanks so much

    My mom used to make this amazing egg-lemon chicken soup when I was a kid.
    This week I watched your video and I made the soup with 3 egg yolks instead of a whole egg. What a difference it made!
