Meat broth, egg, and lemon soup is made by cooking rice or orzo in broth, then stirring in a tempered mixture of egg and lemon juice. Add the mixture gradually while stirring, so the egg thickens the soup without forming strands.
To keep meat broth, egg, and lemon soup smooth, whisk the egg with lemon juice and slowly whisk in a few ladles of hot broth. Pour this warmed mixture back into the pot while stirring, and avoid bringing the finished soup to a boil.
Meat broth, egg, and lemon soup uses the same basic egg-and-lemon thickening idea as avgolemono, but the dishes are not necessarily identical. Greek avgolemono is commonly made with chicken broth and rice or orzo; recipes using other meat broths vary.
Yes, either rice or orzo works in meat broth, egg, and lemon soup. Rice gives a softer, more integrated texture, while orzo stays distinct and pasta-like. Cook the grain or pasta fully before adding the egg-and-lemon mixture.
Beef or lamb broth gives meat broth, egg, and lemon soup a fuller flavor, while chicken broth makes it milder. Use a broth that is not overly salty, since reducing or reheating the soup can make its saltiness more noticeable.
No, meat broth, egg, and lemon soup does not need flour to thicken. The egg-and-lemon mixture adds body, and rice or orzo makes it heartier. If a recipe includes flour, mix it with cool liquid first to prevent lumps.
Store meat broth, egg, and lemon soup in a covered container in the refrigerator once cooled, and eat it promptly. Reheat it gently over low heat, stirring often; a strong boil can make the egg-based broth curdle.
You can freeze meat broth, egg, and lemon soup, but its egg-thickened texture may separate after thawing. For better results, freeze the broth and rice or orzo before adding the egg and lemon, then prepare the thickening mixture when serving.
Bread and a simple salad pair well with meat broth, egg, and lemon soup, which is usually served hot as a starter or light meal. A little extra lemon or a pinch of herbs or chili can be added at the table.
Yes, prepare the broth and rice or orzo for meat broth, egg, and lemon soup ahead of time, but add the egg-and-lemon mixture close to serving. This helps preserve its smooth texture and makes reheating less likely to curdle it.

Meat broth egg lemon soup is a simple soup made by combining meat broth with egg and lemon. The egg-and-lemon mixture is usually tempered with a little hot broth before it is stirred into the pot, giving the soup a smooth, lightly thickened texture. In Turkish home cooking, it is served hot as a starter or a light meal, often with black pepper and parsley.
The broth and egg contribute protein, while lemon lends a bright, gently tart finish. Each 100 g provides 38 calories and 3.2 g of protein. Serve it with bread for a more filling meal, or skim any excess fat from the broth to keep the soup lighter.
