This is my favorite soup ever. I've loved it since I was a little girl. I think this is the closest recipe to the authentic greek restaurants.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of eggs, but I'm so glad I did! The eggs add a richness and creaminess to the soup that is simply divine.
