Egg-lemon soup or avgolemono is perhaps the most iconic of all Greek soups. It is traditionally made with egg and lemon juice mixed with broth, then heated until thickened. Rice or orzo is commonly added. In this recipe we've used egg whites, chicken, and added fiber with brown rice. It's a thick, lemony soup that's delicious served with warm pita bread.
