This Greek Lemon Chicken Soup, also known as Avgolemono, is unique for its creamy texture without using any dairy. The magic comes from tempering eggs with hot broth and lemon juice, creating a silky, rich consistency. Filled with tender shredded chicken and soft rice, this soup is bright, tangy, and incredibly comforting. It’s traditionally used in Greece to fight colds or warm up on winter days. The zesty lemon flavor makes it feel light yet satisfying.
