Chicken soup with egg - how to cook it correctly according to the usual step-by-step recipe
Hello, dear readers! Let's prepare chicken soup with eggs together according to a proven recipe. Let's look at how to cook a delicious egg dish with herbs step by step.
Let's remember the age-old dilemma of the chicken and the egg: which came first? The mystery is truly unsolvable, but I didn’t really want to solve it when they were both so delicious. Therefore, now we cook from chicken and eggs together, and our dish will immediately become doubly tastier.
I hope you understand how to select eggs; first of all, they must be fresh and of high quality. Then let's decide which eggs are best to cook with - chicken or quail. I suggest using regular raw eggs, and when we cook with boiled ones, we’ll use quail eggs. Small boiled eggs look very nice on a plate, they fit perfectly into a spoon, and are easier to eat.
Before cooking the broth, I remove the skin from the chicken parts, remove the fat and veins.
Next in line: vegetables, spices, herbs. Wash the potatoes and carrots well, peel the onions and garlic. I love cooking with parsley, it gives a wonderful flavor. But you can replace it with dill, spinach, cilantro, arugula, or any other greens that suit your taste.
The traditional version of our soup is cooked only with vegetables, although you can vary the recipe with vermicelli, noodles, millet, rice, buckwheat, dumplings, and rice funchose.
We have prepared all the ingredients and are starting to cook the soup for a homemade lunch.

- With rice
We cook according to the traditional recipe. In this option, add rice, bringing the food to half-cookedness, and pour in the beaten raw egg at the very end of cooking. Don't forget about the spices, choose them according to your own taste. I like to add pepper and turmeric. The dish becomes spicier and changes color. Let's decorate the table perfectly when serving, crumble more greens into the plates. You will get a soft summer egg soup.
- In Georgian
The Georgian version (chikhirtma) is an easy recipe. Fry finely chopped onion in butter until light golden brown, add a spoonful of flour, 2 ladles of broth, mix and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Place the mixture into the broth. Beat 2 eggs, add a glass of broth and a little vinegar or lemon juice so that the eggs do not curl into flakes when we pour them into the broth in a narrow stream. Then add the boiled pieces of chicken and let it brew. Cilantro would be great in this recipe, it will add that typical flavor. Chikhirtma is served with croutons or crackers.
Read about how to create crackers without the help of others in the Products section.
Sorrel has an excellent sour taste. You can immediately feel the arrival of the summer season. I try to use as many different herbs as possible in recipes, it’s tasty and quite inexpensive. First, cook the chicken base with potatoes, then rinse well and finely chop the sorrel and add it 3 minutes before the end of cooking. Pour in the raw egg, close the lid and let it brew. Light summer soup is ready!
- With nettle and boiled egg
With nettles and a boiled egg you will get a light summer soup, even though it is cooked in chicken broth. Its calorie content is very low, so it is ideal for weight loss. We prepare according to the traditional recipe, and add nettle at the very end, boil for only 3 minutes so that all the beneficial characteristics of the herb are preserved. We will boil as many eggs as there will be eaters. Cut it in half and add it to the plate. It will turn out very beautiful and tasty.
Everything excellent is simple! Add buckwheat to regular chicken soup. The main thing here is not to overdo it so that the dish does not turn out too thick. The buckwheat will boil, increasing in size by 2-3 times, it will become soft and fragrant. Boil the egg and place it on a plate right before serving. It's delicious.
Useful tips
- I advise you to constantly drain the first water after boiling the meat, and during cooking, skim off the foam and remove fat from the surface of the broth.
- When you pour in the raw beaten egg, do it carefully in a narrow stream, stirring the contents of the pan, so the egg mass will be more attractive and thinner in the bubbling broth.
- Croutons are an excellent accompaniment to summer light chicken soups.
- I really like spicy and fragrant dishes, so I use a lot of different spices, although our dish can be prepared only with salt. The result will be a neutral, soft, gentle taste.
- Chicken soup tastes great in one pot. First, cook the chicken base, then pour it into pots and pour beaten egg on top. A crust appears. Then put the dish in the oven and the egg crust will swell. This is quite wonderful and delicious!
- Our food goes well with parsley root. Wash the roots, chop finely and add to the soup. The taste will change immediately. It's not for everybody, but I like it. Give it a try.
- After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and separate the meat from the bones. The pieces can be sent back to the soup, or served separately on a plate.
- Add grated processed cheese to the egg mixture and beat thoroughly until smooth. Pour the mixture into the soup, stirring vigorously so that the egg does not curl. The result will be an egg-cheese version, a very warm substance.
- To make our dish more satisfying, we’ll add dumplings made from flour or semolina. They will turn out fluffier if you mix beaten egg white into the dough.
- It will be original if cooked with a poached egg. Carefully break it straight into the bubbling broth. Boil for another 2-3 minutes and serve.
Benefits/harms of the soup products used
Chicken meat is certainly beneficial for the human body:
- not a lot of fat and a lot of amino acids: arginine, taurine, purine, leucine, lysine, valine, isoleucine, tryptophan;
- rich in vitamins and minerals;
- It's low in calories and won't make you fat.
Be careful when choosing chicken meat. Do not buy “blue birds” and, on the contrary, very fattened broilers. Steroids and other unsafe chemicals may have been used during their cultivation.
Egg is a very necessary dietary product:
- gives us a feeling of satiety;
- contains amino acids, proteins and vitamins (a group of low molecular weight organic compounds of relatively simple structure and diverse chemical nature) ;
- Thanks to the presence of B vitamins, it helps preserve the functions of the nervous system and regulates the functioning of the internal secretion organs.
Egg yolk is absorbed perfectly in any form; it is better to eat the white boiled, so it is digested faster.
I do not recommend eating raw eggs; this may be unsafe due to the presence of salmonella, which does not harm the chicken and eggs, but when it enters the human body it leads to infection of the blood (the internal environment of the human and animal body) and unsafe intestinal tract disease. Therefore, before insertion, chicken eggs must be washed with soap.
Conclusion
We cooked chicken soup with eggs and looked at 5 more options, although there are even more. Read about this in the Food section in the Chicken Soups recipe. There are 30 options described there for every taste and preference.

Step-by-step recipe with photos
I often cook egg soup with chicken, the recipe for which I will show you now, because it is ordinary, not greasy, without frying, but very tasty and nutritious. This soup can be given to children, especially if the broth is cooked on skinless breasts. And the highlight of it is this: the egg is introduced into the soup raw: first you need to scramble it in a bowl with a fork, and then just add it to the soup, stirring it. The egg will “grab” into the flakes! The most important thing is to take a good chicken according to your ability, so that the broth is rich and yellow
So, prepare the following ingredients: potatoes, chicken (pieces of chicken carcass, I took two wings and a leg), water, salt, chicken egg, vermicelli, onion, carrots, dried parsley, bay leaf, ground pepper.
Boil the chicken pieces in water until tender. Salt the broth. Peel and dice the potatoes while the chicken cooks.
Place potato cubes into the broth and cook until tender. Remove the chicken pieces from the broth, remove the meat from the bones and return it back to the broth - this will make it more pleasant to pour and eat the soup next time. When the potatoes are cooked, add a peeled onion (half or quarter depending on the size of the onion) and carrots (small grater) to the soup.
Boil the soup for 5 minutes, and then add vermicelli or small pasta to it.
Boil the soup for another 5 minutes. While the noodles are cooking in the soup, whisk a raw chicken egg in a bowl. Add the egg to the soup, stirring the broth in a circle. If you want the egg in the soup to be large flakes, then stir it very slowly, and if you want to get small flakes, then stir the soup actively when introducing the egg.
Let the soup boil and add dried parsley (or dill, to taste), ground pepper and add bay leaf. Turn off the stove.
In almost a minute, chicken soup with eggs will be ready - pour it in and invite everyone to dinner! :)
