About Greek lemon orzo soup

Greek Lemon Orzo Soup, or Avgolemono, is a comforting dish rooted in traditional Greek cuisine. This vibrant soup combines tender orzo pasta, chicken broth, and shredded chicken, all brought to life with a creamy mixture of eggs and fresh lemon juice. The tangy lemon flavor adds brightness, while the eggs create a velvety texture without cream. Packed with lean protein and zesty citrus, the soup provides essential nutrients like vitamin C and amino acids. Orzo contributes satisfying carbohydrates, ideal for quick energy. Though light and refreshing, it's also hearty enough to be a full meal, especially with added vegetables like carrots or spinach. Be mindful of sodium levels in the broth and balance with fresh ingredients for a healthier version. Greek Lemon Orzo Soup is flavorful, nutritious, and an excellent way to enjoy a taste of Mediterranean tradition.
