A delicious soup with the perfect, not too overwhelming creaminess from the eggs. The zing of the lemon compliments the flavor of the broth nicely. Quick & easy to make!

I make a Greek soup called Avgolemono that is very similar to this but without the carrots and parsley, plus I use the egg whites (beaten until stiff) at the end. The lemon is what makes this soup for me though. Nice post.
