Read an Excerpt

This thick, lemony chicken soup, a classic Greek dish, takes a minimum of effort. My version is slightly rustic and more colorful than some because I leave the minced carrot, onion, and celery in the stock rather than strain them out. Use fresh lemon juice—it makes a difference. As with all egg-thickened sauces and soups, be careful not to let the soup come to a boil or the eggs will curdle. * Low-Carb: Omit the rice. * High Protein: Double the amount of chicken. * Vegetarian: Use vegetarian broth and replace the chicken with tofu.
