Avgolemono Soup ~ the best alternative to chicken soup


This is the perfect alternative to chicken noodle soup on cold icky days. The lemon livens it up and despite the blues ~ makes you feel a lil bit more alive by the end of the bowl. I really, really, really, like this soup and can see myself making it often. It could be the perfect quick lunch with leftover rice.

I can vouch this is yummy...and just the thing a sicky needs to get better. :-) the addition of brown rice (not in recipe) added a nice nutty addition. Thanks for making me better.
