1 cup (medium) of Chicken broth soup with egg & lemon (250 g) has 95 calories. That works out to 38 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.8 g of carbs, 8 g of protein, 3.8 g of fat and 0.5 g of fiber. Its 800 mg of Sodium covers 35% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Chicken broth soup with egg and lemon is a Turkish-style soup made with chicken stock, tender pieces of chicken and an egg-and-lemon mixture stirred into the hot broth. This tempering gives the soup a gently tangy flavour and a lightly silky texture, sometimes with fine wisps of cooked egg throughout.
It is usually served hot as a starter or a simple home meal, with bread for dipping; a little extra lemon is welcome at the table. The broth keeps it light, while chicken and egg contribute protein. It works well before a fuller meal, or with bread and a salad when you want something simple.

No, chicken broth soup with egg & lemon is not necessarily the same dish as avgolemono, though both use egg and lemon to enrich broth. Turkish versions may include flour, rice, or vermicelli, while Greek avgolemono is often thickened with rice or orzo.
Yes, leftover roast chicken works well in chicken broth soup with egg & lemon. Add the cooked, shredded meat near the end so it warms through without becoming dry, and use a flavorful broth as the base.
Yes, chicken broth soup with egg & lemon can be made without flour. The egg and lemon still enrich the broth; for a thicker soup, cook rice or vermicelli in it, or use a little less broth.
Yes, chicken broth soup with egg & lemon can be frozen, but its egg-thickened texture may become grainy or separate after thawing. Freeze it in meal-sized portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, then warm it gently while stirring.
Parsley and black pepper are common additions to chicken broth soup with egg & lemon. A little dried mint can also work, but add herbs near the end so they keep their aroma and do not overpower the lemon.
Reheat chicken broth soup with egg & lemon slowly over low heat, stirring often, and avoid letting it boil. The egg-based thickener can split when exposed to strong heat; if the soup has thickened in storage, loosen it with a splash of broth.
Yes, you can prepare chicken broth soup with egg & lemon ahead, but it is best to add the egg-and-lemon mixture shortly before serving. Keep the broth and cooked rice or vermicelli chilled, then temper and stir in the mixture while reheating gently.
Chicken broth soup with egg & lemon can look cloudy because the egg is stirred into the broth, especially if the broth is vigorously boiled. A pale, lightly cloudy appearance is normal; gentle heat and gradual tempering help produce a smoother finish.
Yes, chicken broth soup with egg & lemon can serve as a light main meal, especially when it contains shredded chicken and rice or vermicelli. Add bread or a simple salad alongside it if you want a more substantial meal.
Yes, bottled lemon juice can be used in chicken broth soup with egg & lemon, although fresh lemon usually gives a brighter aroma. Stir it into the egg mixture gradually and taste before adding more, since bottled juices can vary in sharpness.
