Chicken Soup Avgolemono is a traditional Greek dish known for its comforting, creamy texture and vibrant flavor. Made with chicken, rice or orzo, eggs, and fresh lemon juice, the soup is thickened by whisking eggs and blending them with the hot broth for a velvety finish. Rich in protein from the chicken and eggs, it provides essential amino acids, while the lemon juice adds vitamin C and a refreshing tang. The rice or orzo offers carbohydrates for energy, though portions should be monitored for those counting calories or carbs. Avgolemono is also relatively low in fat compared to cream-based soups, making it a lighter option that’s still satisfying. Its Mediterranean roots align with heart-healthy eating patterns, emphasizing whole ingredients. However, sodium content could be a concern depending on the amount of salt or broth used, so opting for low-sodium chicken broth can enhance its health benefits.
