Greek Lemon Soup, known as Avgolemono, is a classic dish from Greek cuisine. Its signature ingredients include chicken broth, rice or orzo, fresh lemon juice, and eggs whisked into a velvety mixture, creating a creamy texture without dairy. Frequently, shredded chicken is added for extra protein. The soup's vibrant, citrusy flavor embodies Mediterranean simplicity and balance. Avgolemono is a nutrient-rich dish, offering lean protein from chicken, vitamins from lemons, and energy-boosting carbohydrates from rice or orzo. It’s also relatively low in calories and fat compared to cream-based soups, making it a heart-healthy option when consumed in moderation. However, due to the sodium content in the broth and the carbs from rice or orzo, those watching sodium levels or on low-carb diets should take this into account. Greek Lemon Soup is a comforting, wholesome choice for a nourishing meal.
