Questions

What is Kreatosoupa?

A traditional Greek beef soup featuring tender chunks of beef simmered with root vegetables in a velvety lemon-egg broth. This reference files it under Greek soup: made on the stovetop, rated medium and about 95 minutes start to finish.

What internal temperature should Kreatosoupa reach?

For Kreatosoupa, the target internal temperature is 160 F (about 70 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

Why does Kreatosoupa have me temper the eggs?

Step 5 reads: "Whisk 2 beaten large eggs with 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, temper with hot broth, then stir back into the pot." Eggs scramble if they meet a hot liquid all at once. Step 5 warms them gradually with a little of the hot mixture first, so they thicken the sauce or custard smoothly instead of curdling.

Does Kreatosoupa contain eggs?

Yes: 2 large eggs, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How much protein is in Kreatosoupa?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) has 38 g of protein in about 420 calories, alongside 22 g carbohydrate and 20 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 680 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein soup collection.

Can I freeze Kreatosoupa?

Yes. Refrigerate Kreatosoupa for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The potatoes turn grainy in the freezer, so this one is better kept in the refrigerator.
