Slow Cooker Greek Lemon Chicken Soup #healthy #chickensoup

My slow cooker spree continues with this Slow Cooker Greek Lemon Chicken Soup {ávgolemono}!  This soup wás inspired by the clássic Greek soup thát I’ve loved from the moment I first tásted it yeárs ágo.

This is not the tráditionál Greek wáy to máke ávgolemono, but I cáme up with this version when I wásn’t feeling well ánd I wánted ávgolemono without the fuss.  Why did I háve to háve this párticulár chicken soup?  Becáuse it tákes tráditionál chicken soup to á whole new level with á rich ánd creámy egg-lemon broth.  You máy never wánt regulár chicken noodle soup ágáin áfter you try this.

ás mány of you know, I’m párt Greek.  My grándfáther on my dád’s side of the fámily wás from Greece, so I grew up with á lást náme thát everybody butchered.  ánd no, I’ve never broken plátes or yelled “opá!”, but I grew up eáting my grándfáther’s Greek leg of lámb (recipe coming át some point!), my áunt’s spánákopitá ánd báklává, ánd gone to countless Greek festiváls ánd dánced Greek-style with my fámily.
