Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups parsley (about 3 bunches)
6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Salt
black pepper
4 eggs
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream, optional
Sour cream for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it melts, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley and cook, stirring occasionally, until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in about half the stock.
  • Purée the soup in the pan with an immersion blender, or cool slightly, pour into an upright blender and purée carefully. Return to the pan with the remaining stock. Heat through over medium-low heat, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Beat together the eggs and lemon juice, then slowly add about 1 cup of the hot soup, whisking all the while. Gradually stir the egg mixture back into the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then stir in the cream if you're using it, or serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream, if you like.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add some chopped fresh herbs, like dill or chives.

I'm not usually a fan of egg soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon and parsley really make all the difference.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover eggs. I always have a few hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

This soup is like a warm hug on a cold day. The lemon and parsley add a brightness that cuts through the richness of the eggs, and the result is a soup that is both comforting and refreshing.
