This soup was a disaster. The flavors didn't go well together and the texture was slimy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of avgolemono soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The leek and celery added a nice depth of flavor and the lemon gave it a refreshing tang. I'll definitely be making this again!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I've made this soup a few times now and it's always a hit. My family loves the tangy lemon flavor and the creamy texture. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables.
