About Lemon soup

Lemon soup, often known as avgolemono in Greek cuisine, is a comforting dish with Mediterranean roots. It typically consists of a rich broth made from chicken or vegetable stock, fresh lemon juice, eggs, rice or orzo, and a pinch of herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor. The bright, tangy taste of the lemons is balanced by the creaminess achieved through whisking eggs into the soup. This dish is not only a favorite for its zesty flavor but also for its nutritional benefits. High in protein from the eggs and often made with whole, unprocessed ingredients, lemon soup can be a light yet satisfying meal. Its vitamin C content from the lemons supports immunity, while the carbohydrates in rice or orzo provide energy. However, if made with cream or too much sodium, it can become less healthy, so preparation matters.
