Greek Spinach, Egg and Lemon Soup


You Will Need
3 scallions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg plus 2 egg whites


What to Do
1. Combine the scallions, garlic, and 1⁄4 cup of the broth in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the scallions are tender, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the spinach, oregano, and the remaining 2 3⁄4 cups of broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the spinach is tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the rice, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt and return to a simmer. Remove 1⁄2 cup of the liquid and whisk into the egg and egg whites in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, add the egg mixture to the soup.
