Avgolemono Soup is a traditional Greek dish loaded with bright lemon flavor.  Egg yolk and pureed rice create a thick and decadent texture and not at the expense of calories and saturated fat. Olivio Buttery Spread and the goodness of California Olive Oil hit the pan first and act as the foundation for an easy soup that will blow your mind!

  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 cooked Rotisserie chicken, deboned and shredded
  • 4 cups Chicken Stock

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup + fresh Lemon Juice

  1. In a heavy bottom stock pot or le Crueset over medium heat, melt Olivio Buttery Spread and sauté the yellow onion until they are translucent, 4-5 minutes.
