Avgolemono

Also called Greek Lemon Chicken Soup. Who doesn't love Lemon and Chicken together?! Beings that it is winter, throw it in a soup and you have amazingness.





INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup gluten free penne (whole wheat works too)
1 lb raw chicken, cut into bite size pieces
3 large eggs
4 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (1 large lemon)
4 cups low-sodium, organic chicken broth
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
sea salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and cool
2. Heat pot on medium, coat with nonstick spray
3. Add chicken; cook, stirring frequently. Set aside.
4. Whisk together eggs and lemon juice in large bowl. Slowly add broth, whisking constantly.
5. Transfer egg mixture to pot. Add chicken, spinach, pasta and any remaining broth.
6. Season with salt and pepper.

This is a low calorie, low sodium and high protein meal. I was skeptical that there would not be a lot of flavor due to no other seasonings being added, but it is delicious! Link is to the original, I have altered it to my liking some.
