Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon is a Turkish soup made with tender lamb neck and its broth, finished with an egg-and-lemon mixture. The liaison gives the soup a gently tangy, silky finish rather than a cream-based texture.
To make Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon, simmer lamb neck until tender, remove the meat from the bones, and return it to the broth. Temper beaten egg with lemon juice and warm broth, then stir the mixture into the soup.
The egg mixture in Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon can split if it meets boiling broth too quickly or the finished soup boils. Whisk warm broth into the egg and lemon gradually, then heat the soup gently without bringing it back to a boil.
For tender meat in Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon, cook the neck slowly until it separates easily from the bone. Remove the bones before serving and shred the meat; a pressure cooker can shorten the cooking process.
Yes, you can make Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon without egg, but it will lose the traditional liaison’s silky texture. Add lemon to taste near the end instead, and avoid boiling the soup after adding it.
Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon is built around lamb neck meat and broth, while Greek avgolemono commonly uses chicken broth and rice or orzo. Both use egg and lemon, but the meat and usual additions give them distinct flavors.
Lamb shoulder can replace neck in Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon because it also becomes tender with slow cooking. The broth may be less gelatinous, so simmer the shoulder until it shreds easily and remove any excess fat.
Serve Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon with crusty bread or pita to enjoy the broth. A simple salad or a few lemon wedges make a good accompaniment without competing with the soup’s rich lamb flavor.
Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator once cooled. Reheat only the portion you need over low heat, stirring gently, and do not let the egg-thickened soup boil.
Yes, but the egg-and-lemon liaison in Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon may separate after thawing. For better texture, freeze the lamb and broth before adding the liaison, then thaw, reheat gently, and stir in freshly prepared egg and lemon.

Lamb Neck Soup with Egg and Lemon is a Turkish soup made by slowly simmering lamb neck, often on the bone, then adding the tender meat back to its broth. Its defining finish is a tangy egg-and-lemon liaison, stirred in to give the soup a gently creamy body without making it heavy.
Served hot, it is comforting and savoury, with soft strands of lamb and a bright, lemony edge. In Turkey it can begin a home-cooked meal or be served as a satisfying bowl on its own, often with bread and extra lemon at the table. It provides protein from both the lamb and egg; each 100 g contains 7.1 g of protein. For a lighter meal, skim excess fat from the broth and pair it with a simple salad.
