Soup's On!



Recommended Posts

I love soup! I have always been a Soup lover and have fallen deeper in love since having RNY surgery.

I made the following soup(s) tonight, Sunday night and will be making the third one on Friday night.

Sharing is caring!

Low Carb Avgolemeno (Greek chicken, Lemon & Egg Soup)
INGREDIENTS
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 10 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add the chicken and broth to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly whisk 2 cups of hot stock into the egg mixture - don't just dump it in or you'll end up with scrambled eggs! Once the stock has been incorporated into the egg mixture, add back to the pot. Stir in the spaghetti squash and gently reheat the soup if necessary - don't bring to a boil or the eggs may curdle. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese (optional).

    Thanks, I'll do the math and cut this down for one, but it sounds great. :-)

    I actually cook big batches of Soups I know I can freeze. It is always nice to have a few handy in a pinch on busy days. I also take some to work and make sure an elderly neighbor gets some of everything I make.

    :)

    thanks the OP must be cooking for an army!!

        Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

        Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
