But even though it’s creamy, it’s also still brothy enough to slurp, like any good Chicken Noodle-y type soup should be. It’s salty and rich from the chicken, but that punch of lemon is life-giving in a way that regular Chicken Noodle just can’t touch. And while most brothy soups leave you wanting a sandwich an hour later, this guy is chunky, with fresh vegetables, chicken, and whole wheat pasta, leaving you feeling like you just ate a real meal. Because you did. To recap, this soup is:
Lemony Vibrant Creamy without cream High protein SO GOOD
Move over, Chicken Noodle. Moooove over. It’s bright, fresh, lemony, and seriously like magic with how the egg creates the most perfect creamless creamy broth. It takes some patience, but here’s how it works: If you take it slow and do it right, you’ve got a wonderfully creamy soup that’s dairy-free and so, so delicious.
What To Serve With Lemon Chicken Soup
This soup is honestly A WHOLE MEAL. You’ve got protein (chicken and eggs), carbs (orzo), and veggies (carrots and spinach). But if you’re serving this for a full lunch or dinner party and want some extras on the side, here’s what I would recommend with this soup:
Bread: Carbs on carbs please! A storebought baguette or this No Knead Bread is perfection. You also can’t go wrong with homemade garlic bread. Salad: This soup is just begging for a salad on the side. This Simple Green Salad is the ticket. Sandwich: Soup and sandwich is one of my favorite combos. Maybe this turkey sandwich? Dream lunch.

4.7 from 522 reviews Leftovers: This works great as leftovers. The orzo likes to soak up that moisture, so you might just have to thin it out a bit as you reheat. Eggs: If you add your egg mixture to the soup when it’s too hot, the eggs will scramble! It’s gross. Don’t do that. To help your soup cool down more quickly in preparation for the egg mixture, you can stir in a few ice cubes. Vegetarian: You could easily make this vegetarian by using white beans or another vegetarian protein in place of the chicken.
