I don’t go out for fast food all that often, but Greek food is a big-time draw when I do. Gyros, garlic dip and Lemon Chicken Rice Soup are my favorites. This soup is such a great copycat from my favorite Greek restaurant. The texture of this soup is thick and creamy, though it’s completely low fat. Added chicken and rice make this soup filling and satisfying. And the lemon gives it a satisfying tangy flavor.
How to Make Lemon Chicken Rice Soup:
It’s really pretty easy to make. Chicken broth, bouillon, rice, carrots, celery and onion are simmered together, and then the chicken is added in after those are cooked. Next you’ll make the creamy lemon mixture. Butter and flour are combined in a saucepan. Broth is whisked in too. Separately, you’ll beat the eggs in a bowl and beat in lemon juice too. Next, you’ll very gradually whisk in 2 cups of the hot broth mixture. Finally, you’ll combine everything together.
Garnish the soup however you’d like. I think it’s nice to garnish each bowl with a lemon slice and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Enjoy! If this recipe has you craving more Greek recipes, you might wish to try my Pastitsio recipe. It’s a gorgeous, Greek-style lasagna. This Greek Spinach Pie happens to be a very popular recipe. I’ve always wanted to make this Greek Roasted Chicken too.
