Preparation
- Step 1
Put the broth in a soup pot and bring to a simmer. With a whisk, beat the eggs and lemon juice together in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Ladle 2 cups of hot broth slowly into the egg mixture, whisking, to temper. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot, whisk well, and turn the heat to low. Add the chopped ramps.
- Step 3
Continue whisking over low heat until the soup is ever so slightly thickened. (Do not allow to simmer, or soup will curdle.) Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.

I'm a huge fan of these greek style 'wedding' soups! The lemony flavour will impress. You can pretty much juzsh it up any way you like. Basic principles of good chicken stock with beaten eggs and lemon juice whisked in apply. But you can essentially go nuts with whatever you like after that. Dill is a star in this soup. I also add onions & fennel which I saute with the fatty chicken skin, also frozen spinach, chopped chicken, sour cream, nutmeg, pepper, dried sage and italian herbs. DELISH!
Perfect soup while I am recovering from pneunomia. I did not have ramps, so used celery and celery leaves. Lots of fresh ground black pepper. I had it for lunch and will probably have it for dinner.
A wonderful spring soup recipe! Added foraged mustard greens in addition to the ramps, and some aged red potatoes. Very tasty! Definitely need to try making my own stock though.
Don’t wait for ramps! If you love avgolemono, you will love this. I added more fresh lemon juice and much freshly cracked black pepper. Good with no greens, or add parsley or baby spinach. Tried one bowl with scallions, which overpowered the soup.
Delicious made as written except with chopped green onions substituted for ramps. It is a five star recipe and so easy! Served it with Greek zucchini fritters with tzatziki sauce. I was wishing I had a bit of ouzo and a mandolin soundtrack to dance!
This was so easy and so delicious!!! It only took a few minutes with just a few ingredients. I used the Better than Bouillon and lots of pepper. This is definitely going on my "starving and got 5 minutes to make something!" list. Had the ramps so looked up a recipe...how have I missed this simply exquisite soup?
