GREEK AVGOLEMONO SOUP | a lemony chicken and rice soup (in less than 30 minutes!)
This Greek Avgolemono soup is always a winner! Shredded chicken, rice, and a few simple vegetables are stirred into a silky smooth lemon-and-egg broth for a cozy balanced meal.
The ingredients are fairly simple, although, I will say I created a small shortcut. Instead of cooking a whole chicken from scratch to create the shredded chicken and broth, I'm using a rotisserie chicken and boxed chicken broth. I'm also using pre-cooked white rice. Hello meal prep!
Is this an authentic avgolemono soup? Technically, no, but it follows the same concept, with very similar results and flavor. You know me - I'm all for simplifying things as much as I can for a seamless (and easy!) cooking experience. Plus my version gets this healthy Mediterranean soup recipe on the table fast for an easy weeknight dinner meal!

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup Recipe : Avgolemono
Rebecca Brand shows how to make Greek Lemon Chicken Egg Soup, Avgolemono. Click Fresh lemon juice with traditional chicken stock and a rich egg infusion that makes the broth creamy, yet not made with real cream. The chicken broth recipe can be used as a base for many recipes, and this Greek Avgolemono recipe is my favorite and my original recipe. I augmented the creaminess with the way I incorporated the eggs. I add extra lemon juice for more flavor. The quantity of this soup is an extra-large batch because I love the leftovers!
