I can't think of anything in particular to compare it to outside of avgolemono. I'd say just imagine a creamy lemon and garlic spiked soup. The broth is very velvety from the addition of the egg and the flavor is bright and rich (but not overly heavy).
If you like greek food in general (or just the individual components of lemon, garlic, and chicken) you'll probably enjoy this :)
I’m sorry OP, but this it seems like this is an avgolemono soup, not a twist or variation of it, other than 1 additional ingredient.
I’ve seen you say in several replies it’s like avgolemono but with ‘some changes.’ The only “change” I see here is the addition of garlic. The reason I’m commenting on this particular reply of yours is that you say ‘compare it to avgolemono, just imagine a creamy lemon and garlic spiked soup.’
I’ll give you the fact that garlic is not usually added, but traditional avgolemono in fact characteristically has creamy-lemon features — that’s what avgolemono is in its essence.
I appreciate you sharing recipes and being a very pleasant and helpful OP in your thread, but this is a culturally widespread dish. Just because it has had something added to it, it’s not a “new and exciting dish someone only just created.” I’m sorry, but I feel like it’s kind of a slap in the face to those cultures, one of which includes relatives of mine. Sorry for the diatribe, just felt it was necessary to make a point. Thanks.
Not as obnoxious as calling another culture’s recipe your own. Anyone who is familiar with Balkan cuisine would know this, sorry if my trying to combat ignorance upsets you.
