1 cup (medium) of Egg lemon vermicelli soup (240 g) has 144 calories. That works out to 60 calories per 100 g. It contains 20.4 g of carbs, 5 g of protein, 4.1 g of fat and 1.2 g of fiber. Its 624 mg of Sodium covers 27% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Egg lemon vermicelli soup brings fine noodles together with a gently thickened broth finished with egg and lemon, a style of seasoning known in Turkish cooking as terbiye. It is often made with chicken or meat stock, though recipes vary. The noodles turn tender, while the broth is smooth, lightly glossy and pleasantly tangy. In Turkey it is commonly served hot as a first course at family meals, or as a simple light supper, with black pepper or dried mint on top. The vermicelli makes it mainly a source of carbohydrates, while egg contributes some protein; a 100 g portion has 8.5 g of carbohydrates. For a lighter bowl, keep the added fat modest and use a little less vermicelli.

To make egg lemon vermicelli soup, simmer vermicelli in broth until tender. Whisk egg with lemon juice, slowly whisk in a little hot broth to warm the mixture, then stir it into the pot over low heat without letting the soup boil hard.
No, egg lemon vermicelli soup is not automatically the same as Greek avgolemono. Both can use egg and lemon to enrich broth, but avgolemono is a Greek preparation that may include rice or orzo, while this soup is made with vermicelli.
The egg can curdle in egg lemon vermicelli soup if it is poured into very hot broth too quickly or the finished soup boils vigorously. Temper the egg mixture with hot broth first, add it gradually, and keep the heat low.
Use thin vermicelli for the delicate noodle texture commonly associated with egg lemon vermicelli soup. If using a thicker pasta, allow for a longer cooking time and check it regularly so it does not become overly soft.
Add the lemon as part of the egg mixture near the end of cooking egg lemon vermicelli soup. Whisk it with the egg before tempering the mixture with hot broth; adding lemon directly to boiling soup can make the egg curdle.
Yes, chicken broth works well in egg lemon vermicelli soup and gives it a fuller savory flavor. Taste the broth before adding salt, since ready-made or homemade chicken broth may already be well seasoned.
Yes, you can make a version of egg lemon vermicelli soup without eggs, but it will lack the traditional silky, lightly thickened finish. Simmer the vermicelli in broth and add lemon to taste just before serving.
Serve egg lemon vermicelli soup with crusty bread, a simple salad, or roasted vegetables for a light meal. Since the soup already contains noodles, a side that is not another pasta or grain keeps the meal balanced in texture.
Egg lemon vermicelli soup keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly and reheat only the portion you plan to eat, stirring gently so the egg mixture stays as smooth as possible.
You can freeze egg lemon vermicelli soup, but the egg mixture may separate and the vermicelli can turn soft after thawing. For a better texture, freeze the broth before adding the egg-lemon mixture and noodles, then finish the soup fresh.
