Ingredients
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
5 garlic cloves, grated
2-3 pounds chicken drumsticks or thighs
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
8 cups chicken stock
For the Avgolemono (lemon sauce):

6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or to taste
1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
Place the chicken in a tray and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Season bot sides with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken either in the oven at 425 F for about 25 minutes or in the air fryer at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool and then remove the meat off of the bones and set aside.

Place the onion, carrots, and 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot. Cook over medium heat until soft. About 8 minutes.

Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant.

Add the chicken, potatoes, salt, pepper, turmeric, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.

Make the avgolemono. Combine all of the avgolemono ingredients together in a mixing bowl and whisk them together until smooth. Add 1-2 cups of the hot broth to the avgolemono and whisk together. Add it to the soup and mix together. Warm through over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add the oregano and serve. Kali Orexi!
