Delicious. I used broccolini instead of the broccoli and liked it very much.
So Martha says in her description. It's delicious nontheless.
This is not an authentic version of Egg Lemon soup. The garlic broth I have never heard of. If you are looking for traditional recipe do more research.

Cauliflower florets work too
The authentic version of this Greek soup is a chicken soup with an egg and lemon enrichment stirred in at the end. But I don’t hesitate to make it using garlic broth, thereby transforming a Greek classic into a refreshing, lemony twist on garlic soup.
