Slow Cooker Greek Lemon Chicken Soup {Avgolemono}

chicken breast*

onion

celery

garlic (minced)

dry white rice

chicken stock

water

lemon juice

eggs

salt and pepper (to taste)

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken, onion, celery, garlic, rice or orzo, stock, water, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in your slow cooker. Cook about 3 hours on high, or 4-5 hours on low. *For best results, add rice or orzo during the last hour or so of cooking time to prevent overcooking.

When the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and allow to cool slightly. Chop into chunks and place back in the slow cooker.

Place the eggs in a medium bowl and beat lightly. Whisk in the lemon juice until combined. Place about 1 cup of hot soup broth in a measuring cup, and add a few droplets at a time to the egg-lemon mixture whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Continue adding the hot broth in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly. After all the stock has been added, add the egg-lemon mixture to the soup in the crock pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve, and enjoy!

This Avgolemono, a lemony Greek chicken pasta soup is healthy and hearty (lots of satisfying protein), creamy (no cream!) and so delicious!

Avgolemono (Greek Chicken Pasta Soup)

butter

extra virgin olive oil

onion (finely diced)

carrots

garlic (finely minced)

rosemary

chicken broth (maybe more)

salt

orzo pasta

lemon juice (remove the zest from lemon before juicing)

shredded rotisserie (or leftover chicken)

dill

lemon

black pepper (to taste)

Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and butter. Swirl the pan until the butter is melted. Add the onion and carrots and stir to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the garlic and rosemary and stir. Cook for another 30 seconds.

Add the chicken broth and salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then add the orzo and cook for another 8-10 minutes or until the orzo is tender. Remove the pot from the heat.

While the broth mixture is cooking, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks and fresh lemon juice in a medium-size heatproof container (I use a 4 cup pyrex measuring cup) until well combined.

When the orzo is tender, take a ladle of the hot soup and SLOWLY drizzle it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Continue with several more ladles of broth until you’ve added about 2 cups.

Return the pot to the heat now and add the egg mixture. Cook over medium-low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly until soup is thickened a bit. Add the chicken, fresh dill and lemon zest. If you like a thinner soup, add more chicken broth. Taste and add more salt and/or lemon juice, if needed. Serve garnished with lemon slices, freshly ground black pepper and dill sprigs.

This Greek Avgolemono soup is always a winner! Shredded chicken, rice, and a few simple vegetables are stirred into a silky smooth lemon-and-egg broth for a cozy balanced meal. 

The ingredients are fairly simple, although, I will say I created a small shortcut. Instead of cooking a whole chicken from scratch to create the shredded chicken and broth, I'm using a rotisserie chicken and boxed chicken broth. I'm also using pre-cooked white rice. Hello meal prep! 

Is this an authentic avgolemono soup? Technically, no, but it follows the same concept, with very similar results and flavor. You know me - I'm all for simplifying things as much as I can for a seamless (and easy!) cooking experience. Plus my version gets this healthy Mediterranean soup recipe on the table fast for an easy weeknight dinner meal!

GREEK AVGOLEMONO SOUP | a lemony chicken and rice soup (in less than 30 minutes!)

This avgolemono soup recipe is comforting with bright flavors. Made with the classic egg lemon sauce, avgolemono, this Greek lemon chicken soup is so satisfying. Follow along for all my tips and instructions to make this authentic Greek chicken soup.

Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Soup)

boneless skinless chicken breast (see notes)

tsp peppercorn

garlic (peeled)

tsp kosher salt

carrot (diced)

short grain rice (such as arborio)

Place the chicken in a large pot with the peppercorn, onion, garlic, celery and salt. Add 8 cups of water to the chicken and cover with the lid. Turn the heat on to medium high and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the chicken for about 40 minutes until it&#39;s fully cooked. Turn the heat off.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool completely then shred it. Discard the peppercorn, onion, garlic and celery so the broth is clear.

Turn the heat on to medium high and add the carrots and rice to the broth. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice and carrots are cooked completely. If the soup is too thick, add 1 cup water. Turn the heat off.

In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the lemon juice until combined. Slowly add 2 cups of the soup to the egg mixture and whisk constantly to temper the eggs. Then again, slowly add the tempered eggs back into the pot while stirring the soup.

Once all the tempered eggs are added to the soup, turn the heat on to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the shredded chicken and cook for 5 more minutes.

Serve warm topped with parsley if desired.

You&#39;ll love this delicious, silky Greek Avgolemono soup filled with chicken, rice and dill with a lemon-egg sauce. Delish!

Avgolemono Chicken and Rice Soup 

½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

lemon juice (plus more as needed)

Pull the dill fronds from the stems; reserve 1/2 cup of the fronds for garnish.

In a pot, combine the stems, chicken thighs and rice with the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat.

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir. Cover and cook the chicken until tender, 25 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and stems from the broth. Discard the stems and transfer the chicken to a plate then shred with 2 forks.

Meanwhile, increase the heat to medium-high and bring the stock up to an active simmer.

In a large heatproof bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs until frothy.  Add ¼ cup lemon juice and mix to incorporate.

While you whisk the eggs, gradually drizzle in 1 ladleful (about 1 cup) of the broth (it’s OK if some grains of rice tag along) and mix until fully combined.

Pour the lemon-egg mixture into the pot with the broth, immediately remove from the heat, and stir in the shredded chicken. Taste and add more lemon juice to taste.

Garnish with a generous amount of fresh dill, black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
