Recipe: Avgolemono Soup

This soup is yummy comfort food at its finest. It thickens almost to an oatmeal-like consistency and tastes rich and decadent, but - without chicken - it's only 140 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving. You can also add onion, celery, and carrots if you want - but I kind of like it straight-up (with veggies on the side, of course).

Avgolemono Soup

3 cans condensed chicken broth
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 cup short grain white italian rice
Parsley
Paprika

Combine ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil then simmer on low until rice is cooked.

3 eggs
1/3 c lemon juice

Whisk eggs and lemon juice together. SLOWLY add a little bit of broth at a time to the egg/lemon mixture until the mixture gets very warm. Pour into pot and stir as you bring the soup back up to a boil - then take the pot off the heat IMMEDIATELY.
