A while ago, I posted one of my favorite soup recipes for Greek Lemon soup, which has several eggs in it. When I posted that, our source for pastured eggs was unavailable, so I had to get some of the “high quality” eggs from the store. Obviously, even with those eggs we loved the soup. But, I recently made it again with pastured eggs, and oh! what a difference! Color, taste, even texture were improved. It was so satisfying. So not only are you getting all of the health benefits of pastured eggs (I blogged about their nutritional value here), but you have a better tasting soup.

Though the pictures don’t do it credit (and I hope your computer screen doesn’t change the colors), you should still be able to see the color difference of the two soups below.

Most people raising chickens are in the high egg production season right now, so it would be a good time to look into a source for pastured eggs. I have never regretted our choice of seeking out pastured eggs. They are truly wonderful.

    Thanks for posting,Kimi! I have always wanted to make Egg-Lemon soup but was nervous about getting the wrong texture. I’ll check out your post on it and give it a try! I have a great source of pastured eggs and those yolks are the darkest orange! I love them!

    I'm having a hard time finding organic pastured eggs (actually pastured eggs in general are hard to find)… if you had to choose, would you you choose organic (fed feed & free roaming) or pastured eggs? Why? Thanks!

    Tully Family,
    In my case, this was easy to decide. I actually also don’t get organic pastured eggs (feed costs are quite high right now for small farmers to buy organic because so many big company’s buy organic grains to feed their farm animals). So my eggs are just pastured, not organic. I find that the organic eggs from the store, aren’t half as nice and don’t have a very dark yolk compared to my pastured chicken eggs. I think it’s because the chickens don’t eat a whole lot of feed but eat a lot of worms and grubs (and kitchen scraps) which are what they are supposed too.

    Hope that helps! 🙂
