Chicken soup avgolemono from Zaytinya: Delicious Mediterranean Dishes from Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon (page 110) by José Andrés

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Excellent soup, with a few caveats. Made this for a solo dinner. The combination of ingredients and layers of flavor they provide are lovely as is the visual presentation. It is not a soup to tackle if you have limited time or are in a hurry. Each element -- the chicken, the kale, the sautéed vegetables, the orzo, the lemon soup -- is prepared separately. When cooking the carrot-onion-celery mixture under cover I found that the small amount of water added evaporated more quickly than anticipated and veggies charred slightly. So I would keep a close eye on those veg and also would salt them when preparing. The recipe does not call for that but think it essential. Also the lemon broth/soup needed some flavor enhancement. I added more salt, and most of the lemon zest and dill. I wanted to boost the flavor profile and knew that I would have leftovers for 2-3 more servings -- easier in that instance to have the herbs and zest incorporated with the soup. Would definitely make again.
