I am a huge fan of Greek avogolemono soup - a citrus-y chicken based broth with eggs and rice in it. We have a good recipe for it, but M resists making it because it's so light that it doesn't really feel like a dinner. With this in mind when I saw this recipe for a heartier avogolemono style soup, I jumped on it. Adding artichoke hearts and spinach really ups the nutrient level, plus adds color and complexity. We had some leftover hummus and pita from my mom's visit, making this a no brainer for this week. In the end though we both still felt like this *needed* to be part of a Greek feast (i.e. soup just one minor component of a meal with hummus, Greek salad, olives, feta, etc). It was good, but still not interesting enough to be the centerpiece of a meal (plenty hearty though). I think we're back to doing our regular avogolemono soup with lots of sides.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Dill, cucumbers
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: This will reheat fine as long as you are VERY careful not to let it boil.

Reaction
J: "I still like regular avogolemono better."
M: "A good part of a Greek feast"
