    I think avgolemono (Greek) is a strong candidate here. Main ingredients are chicken, lemon, and egg yolks. Make it with a homemade chicken bone broth and I’m sure this packs a good amount of protein, vitamins and all that good stuff.

    Serve over rice or lentils something to bulk it up.

    The only thing with this is that there is a bit of finesse involved to incorporate the egg yolks without scrambling them, but even if that happens it’s still edible, just not as pretty lol.

      You just need to temper the egg. Scramble in a separate bowl, and slowly drizzle in hot broth until you’ve added like 5x the volume of the egg yolks while whisking. After that, you can just pour into the pot. It’s how you do it for ice cream and other custards, too.

      I can’t eat half of the ingredients anymore, but damn, this used to be a favorite.

      Instead of rice or lentils, I’d mix in some orzo and let that cook right in the soup. Heaven.
