Egg-lemon soup is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken broth, the refreshing tartness of lemon, and the velvety texture of egg yolks. Its history traces back to Greek gastronomy, where it is known as avgolemono and serves as a symbol of home comfort. The light yet rich flavor makes this soup an excellent choice for both a warming winter lunch and a refreshing summer dinner. The harmony of ingredients creates a delicate creamy sensation, while rice adds heartiness and structure. Serving with lemon wedges adds a bright citrus accent. This soup is perfect for those who appreciate the balance of flavors and textures.
