thanks the OP must be cooking for an army!!
I love soup! I have always been a Soup lover and have fallen deeper in love since having RNY surgery.
I made the following soup(s) tonight, Sunday night and will be making the third one on Friday night.

Low Carb Avgolemeno (Greek chicken, Lemon & Egg Soup)INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 10 cups chicken stock or broth
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add the chicken and broth to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly whisk 2 cups of hot stock into the egg mixture - don't just dump it in or you'll end up with scrambled eggs! Once the stock has been incorporated into the egg mixture, add back to the pot. Stir in the spaghetti squash and gently reheat the Soup if necessary - don't bring to a boil or the eggs may curdle. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese (optional).

OMG keep them coming!! i can almost taste them
I actually cook big batches of Soups I know I can freeze. It is always nice to have a few handy in a pinch on busy days. I also take some to work and make sure an elderly neighbor gets some of everything I make.

Thanks, I'll do the math and cut this down for one, but it sounds great. :-)
