Greek Avgolemono Vegetable Soup

I’m notorious for making soups. I could literally live off nothing more than soup for the rest of my life and be happy. I’m THAT obsessed with it.

I know, I’m weird. 🙂 Most people say that, especially around summer time, when I’m still found to be eating hot soup!

Can’t really help it. It fills your tummy, the flavors are amazing, and it’s this one pot of food you make and it lasts your family for several days. What’s NOT to love about soup???

Believe it or not, my kids actually like broccoli. GASP, I know, right?! But, I’ve trained them since day 1 to love their healthy veggies.

In fact, I’ve written an entire post on how I get my kids to eat veggies (the easy way), which you can see here. So, this recipe does have broccoli in it.

The zucchini we get from our garden and this year, I want to plant carrots too! Anyone else have a garden? If you don’t, you can still grow veggies from scraps! Did you know that? It’s so cool. Here’s 7 fruits and veggies you can regrow from scraps!

This traditional Greek Avgolemono Vegetable Soup is a real crowd-pleaser…hope you guys like it too!
