It's a lovely, filling
soup — sometimes more like stew — with lots of
cabbage and flavour and spice from the curry powder (store - bought can be used, although I've also been
making our own with a slightly modified version of this
recipe from Pecanbread.com).
Dear Cate, I'm Clio and I'm from Greece.I really like your blog, very good work.I found the Greece section -LRB-!!!!) and I wanted to give you some info about the avgolemono
soup recipe.Here, in Greece, we don't cook this
soup plain with just rice, well, I certainly haven't heard it before.We have chicken avgolemono
soup which is very popular, and there is a hole range of avgolemono
recipes,
soups and casserole dishes.Avgolemono is a sauce, which is done at the end and finishes the
recipe with eggs (avgo in greek) and lemons.For example, we have «lamp with lettuce avgolemono, meatballs avgolemono
soup, zuccnini stuffed with mince avgolemono, an easter
soup with liver chopped and fresh onions, very traditional, we also have dolmades, this is turkish dish, it is like little parcels
made by
cabbage leaves that you steam a little and then are filled with mince, rice and herbs, and avgolemono.And many others.
Hi Rebekah, I would say that the colour of the
soup is not the most important thing, if you follow the instructions for this
recipe and the colour turns a bit different there is no need to worry, as you say it may depend on the red
cabbage itself, but I would focus on the balance of the ingredients in this
soup that
makes it highly nutritious and its taste rather than a bit of variation in colour.
