Chicken Lemon Soup - A Columbus, OH Greek Food Favorite

<h1>Chicken Lemon Soup - A Columbus, OH Greek Food Favorite</h1>Author: <a title="Yianni Chalkias" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/yianni-chalkias/204132.htm">Yianni Chalkias</a> As a young boy living back home in Greece, I always remember those rainy winters. Our home did not have heat so we relied on dressing cozy inside the home and eating plenty of soups, one of the most popular being the Chicken Lemon Soup, also known as Avgolemono soup. Coincidentally my godmother, who lived across the street, had several lemon trees and a fence that we had to jump over regularly to pick them before it got really cold! As the whole world knows chicken soup is great and great for you if you are coming down with a cold. Chicken lemon soup does the same but it is twice as effective because of the vitamin C in the lemons. Many of my customers and friends wonder why it works so well but when I explain the vitamin C and the lemon effect, they see why it does the trick so well! We start off making this <a href="http://kinggyros.com/menu-soups.html">Columbus, OH Greek Food</a> favorite by boiling the chicken. Leg quarters are great or a whole chicken is also good. <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I-elKf-R5Vg/Ss0xoPoL66I/AAAAAAAAAKM/xSX8lMspYZI/s320/HPIM0347.JPG" /> Then we chop the vegetables, celery, carrots,   <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I-elKf-R5Vg/Ss0w4oZloEI/AAAAAAAAAKE/c15JF0Yt4zc/s320/veggies.jpg" /> yellow onions, <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I-elKf-R5Vg/Ss0xohYa6fI/AAAAAAAAAKU/jgLzLR0tQGA/s320/Hpim0351.jpg" alt="Columbus OH Greek Food" />and also cook them in some water. As the chicken is done, sift anything floating on the top and combine the chicken stock with the vegetable stock, bring to a boil and then add the orzo (small pieces of pasta) to this with some butter. <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I-elKf-R5Vg/Ss0w4MsHCCI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/bcHta1hWXag/s320/orzo.jpg" alt="Columbus OH Greek Food" /> When the orzo is very close to be done (aldente), turn off the heat under the soup. Debone the chicken in strips and add it in the soup. You can add some salt, lite pepper and fresh squeezed lemons all to your taste. If you wish you can add some fresh dill for more fresh flavor. Use parsley for garnish if desired. It seems like unlikely combination at first, chicken soup and lemon but once they try it, many people enjoy it frequently. In fact, it is one of the most-ordered dishes in our Columbus, OH, Greek food restaurant! <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I-elKf-R5Vg/Ss0yAh65oVI/AAAAAAAAAKc/-CThRNG1OAA/s320/HPIM0436.JPG" alt="Columbus OH Greek Food" /> This is a hearty soup and one everyone should try it.
