Greek Chicken Soup with Semolina

"I grew up eating Italian food most of the time, but my aunt was a chef and she occasionally introduced new dishes, mostly Mediterranean. Avgolemono was one of the soups that literally healed every ache anybody was afflicted with. Rich with flavours, this homemade remedy with chicken broth (made from scratch) was used as an introduction to homemade Chicken Gyros or indeed any other main dish. The base for this soup is egg (avgo) and lemon (lemono). Does this description remind you of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and Gus Portokalos? The freshness of this soup originates in the combination of dill and lemon. It is a perfect comfort soup, whatever the season. All kinds of vegetables are in play. If you like to use what nature provides at any given time, any chopped vegetables are suitable: spinach, zucchini, chard, carrots, parsley, peas, kale, cauliflower, you name it! My favourites for this season are green and yellow zucchinis."
