Wow! This is exactly what I was hoping for! Yum. Perfect for when you’re under the weather and it’s also a cold, rainy day—though I already know that those won’t be the only conditions that I make this soup! The eggs give it a creamy feel, and the lemon—just perfect! Thank you for sharing!!
I’m so excited to hear you loved this soup, Lyla!! It really is so easy yet so comforting 🙂 Thank you!!
Such a delicious and flavorful meal. The whole family loved it as well!
This soup was perfect! It is exactly like my greek grandmothers with a special touch of the dill and olive oil! Such an amazing recipe!
Absolutely incredible! Made this for my whole family while we were sick and they said it is the best soup I’ve made them. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Pairing it with sourdough on this chilly autumn evening!
So easy and hearty. It was the right thing as we move into colder weather.
Such an easy and delicious recipe! Will absolutely be in the rotation
I’m so confused about chicken broth and bone broth being separated 😅 This sounds absolutely lovely though. Will be trying soon!
Hi Kaylie! Sorry for any confusion! I know bone broth often comes in 2 cup portions and wanted to provide a cheaper option where you only had to buy one box of bone broth. But you could totally just use either chicken broth or chicken bone broth!
