Egg and Lemon Soup with Ramps Recipe (2024)

I'm a huge fan of these greek style 'wedding' soups! The lemony flavour will impress. You can pretty much juzsh it up any way you like. Basic principles of good chicken stock with beaten eggs and lemon juice whisked in apply. But you can essentially go nuts with whatever you like after that. Dill is a star in this soup. I also add onions & fennel which I saute with the fatty chicken skin, also frozen spinach, chopped chicken, sour cream, nutmeg, pepper, dried sage and italian herbs. DELISH!

Perfect soup while I am recovering from pneunomia. I did not have ramps, so used celery and celery leaves. Lots of fresh ground black pepper. I had it for lunch and will probably have it for dinner.

I cut the recipe in half: used about three cups Swanson low sodium broth, juice 1/2 lemon, 2 eggs (right out of fridge), some Turkish pepper, chives from garden. Pretty darn good. It’s more of a broth, so you could cut liquid down a bit for thicker soup. It’s a nice base for additions like cooked chicken, as another cook suggested.

I sautéed some spring garlic with butter beans, olive oil and a splash of white wine, verjus and some sage, then smashed the beans to a chunky puree, and reserved to add to the soup. I used Meyer lemons and Brodo hearth broth. After adding a few ladles of broth to the egg/lemon mixture, I added the bean purée and ramps to the broth and then added the egg/lemon/broth mixture to the soup, whisking and keeping the heat low so no simmering.It was really great way to enjoy ramps!

This simple and quick soup was deceptively full of complex flavour! I was so so pleasantly surprised and plan to make this multiple times this ramp season. I added a Toulouse sausage to make it a bit hardier, which I browned in the pot before adding the stock.

Didn’t work for me. I’ve made other lemon and tempered egg soups in the past, like with dill and white beans and spinach or other greens with good flavor but the ramps and salt and pepper were just not enough not sure why. Seemed simply raw ramps did not stand out enough.

A wonderful spring soup recipe! Added foraged mustard greens in addition to the ramps, and some aged red potatoes. Very tasty! Definitely need to try making my own stock though.

I used to make this quickly for my hungry family plus added peas, rice n chopped spinach or parsley. A fast yum!

Made recipe as described but it didn't really work for me. The flavor was unappealing at worst and missing something at best. I love all the ingredients involved and used high quality stock - but if you want to use ramps in a novel way I would not recommend this recipe.

This is like a simple but classic schav soup
