"Found @ realsimpledotcom & they were brief when they shared this Greek classic recipe .. "A zesty Greek take on egg drop soup" & "This is the traditional recipe made in Greek kitchens. Serve w/bread so bits of it can be dipped into the soup". Entered here at Zazz for play in Culinary Quest #3, I can't stop myself from thinking of this quick, easy-fix & warming soup in titles like GREEK COMFORT FOOD or GREEK PENICILLIN (to borrow the concept from our NYC Quest destination). Times were given & I adjusted them to be more realistic. ENJOY!"
